Inter vs Cagliari: the Scudetto and survival

League leaders Inter host Cagliari as they aim to move closer to the title, while the Sardinians look to pull further away from the relegation zone.

With a nine-point lead over Napoli and eighteen points still available, Inter welcome Cagliari hoping to take a decisive step toward a 21st Scudetto. Cagliari, however, have other plans: after beating Cremonese last week, they are chasing more points to distance themselves from the relegation places.
