In a pivotal Serie A encounter, reigning champions FC Internazionale Milano host Cagliari Calcio, hoping to extend their three-game winless streak and bridge the nine-point gap to league leaders Napoli. Inter will seek to capitalize on the visitors' recent struggles, which have seen Cagliari pick up just two points from their last five fixtures. Simone Inzaghi's side will be led by the in-form Lautaro Martinez, who has netted seven goals in his last eight appearances.
