Preview Inter Serie A, Dec 12, 2021

Preview We played two excellent games, Simone Inzaghi said in his post-match interview after the 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. The entire match at San Siro and the sixty minutes until Barella [R. 64’] was sent off here. We lost both games. If we look at them, we feel that we would have deserved more, Inzaghi added. Back on Italian soil, Inter Milan picked up a 3-0 win over Jose Mourinho’s Roma on Serie A Matchday 16 and moved one spot ahead, from 3rd to 2nd place on the Serie A table. A goal from Hakan Çalhanoğlu (15') put Inter in the lead in the first fifteen minutes before the Bosnian Diamond, Edin Dzeko (24'), struck for the second. Denzel Dumfries (39') wrapped up all three points, six minutes before the end of the first forty-five. Inter are unbeaten and return with four straight victories after five Serie A games, DWWWW. With 37 points after 11W, 4D, and 1L, Inter trails first-placed Milan by a point. Simone Inzaghi is looking to extend the blue patch of remarkable form over the Rossoblù while hoping Milan slips up. Inter have won more home league games in 2021 than any other team in Europe’s Big-Five leagues (17). Historically, in Serie A, only in 1989 have they won more such matches in a single calendar year (18). Edin Dzeko may be given a rest, with Alexis Sanchez expected to start ahead of the Bosnian in the 3—5—2 formation, alongside Lautaro Martínez in attack. Joaquin Correa and Matteo Darmian remain doubtful for this fixture against the Sardinians.

Preview Cagliari Serie A, Dec 12, 2021

Preview Cagliari bagged a point in the 1-1 draw against Torino last Monday at the Sardegna Arena. João Pedro (53') found the leveler for Cagliari after an own goal by Andrea Carboni (31' O.G.) put Torino ahead, a minute after the half-hour mark. The draw saw Cagliari move from 19th to 18th place on the Serie A table, having picked up 10 points from 1W, 7D, and 8L. The Sardinians have no victory in five Serie A matches, LDDDD, ahead of this fixture, and former Inter coach, Walter Mazarri, could be staring at another defeat in this difficult fixture against the Well-Cherished One. Walter Mazarri could appear along with Gli Isolani, mirroring Inter’s 3—5—2 formation, with Keita Baldé and João Pedro in attack. Kevin Strootman is ruled out for the rest of the year, while Nahitán Nández remains doubtful.
