Inter Milan are marching closer to the league title in Italy, but they can't it this weekend, though can put themselves within range if they win. They play in the final game on Sunday afternoon, the last of four to take place and they welcome Cagliari to the San Siro, a side who are kicking close to safety but have a little more work to do.
Inter Milan Form GuideInter Milan have lost one game all season, and that was 25 games ago, all the way back in September. They've been relentless in their quest for the title, and not only have they shown themselves to have the most quality in the division, but they've also been the most consistent. It's not a case of if they win the title, but now a matter of when.
They have won their last two games, the most recent being a 2-1 away success at Udinese last Monday. Before that, they won 2-0 at home to Empoli. A draw with Napoli, a game that ended 1-1, ended their winning run and came before that.
Cagliari Form GuideAs the weekend begins, Cagliari are in 13th position with 30 points. That means they have four teams below them who are outside of the relegation zone, and they are four points clear of it. I think they'll survive, but the job isn't done yet, although if they keep playing as they have been doing, they are going to get the points needed soon.
That's because they come here with three wins and a draw from their last five games, a run that's taken them away from what was a bad spot previously. They won last weekend, beating Atalanta 2-1 to get another big three points, and before that, they picked up a point in a home game with Verona.
Match PredictionCagliari may be playing their best football of the season, and deserve respect for that, but they are facing the champions in waiting here, and regardless of how good they are playing, I don't think they can get anything from this away game with Inter, so it's Inter Milan that are my pick.
