Cagliari vs Inter

Inter (1600) are only the second teams, after Juventus (1714), to win 1600 games in Serie A.

Lautaro Martínez (117 goals) has overtaken Sandro Mazzola (116) and is now the 5th top scorer in Inter's history in Serie A, behind Giuseppe Meazza (197), Benito Lorenzi (138), Stefano Nyers (133) and Alessandro Altobelli (128).

Francesco Pio Esposito (20 years and 91 days) is the 4th youngest Italian player to score for Inter in Serie A in the 2000s, after his brother Sebastiano (17 years and 172 days), Mario Balotelli (17 years and 238 days), and Marco Davide Faraoni (20 years and 74 days).

Inter are unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 league matches against Cagliari (W12 D2), scoring 39 goals in the process (2.6 on average). The Sardinians' only win in this period dates back to 1 March 2019 (2-1 at Unipol Domus under Rolando Maran).

Inter have won eight of their last nine away games against Cagliari in Serie A (L1), including all five of their most recent matches, keeping a clean sheet in the last two; the Nerazzurri have never kept three consecutive clean sheets away from home against the Sardinians in the tournament.

Cagliari have won their last two league games, against Parma and Lecce; the last time they achieved three consecutive wins in Serie A was in April 2021, under Leonardo Semplici.

For the second time in the three-point-for-a-win era (since 1994/95), Cagliari (seven in the current tournament) have earned at least seven points after four games in a Serie A season, following 2011/12 (seven under Massimo Ficcadenti) – in that case, they earned 10 after the fifth game. Furthermore, the Sardinians could remain unbeaten in four of their first five matches in a Serie A campaign for the fourth time in the last 32 seasons, following 2013/14, 2011/12, and 2010/11.

Inter have won just three of their last 10 away league games (D3 L4), scoring 13 goals and conceding exactly the same, having achieved eight consecutive away wins in Serie A beforehand.
