Cagliari vs Inter Milan tips: Bet on Lautaro Martinez to fire visitors to three points

Inter has a strong record against Cagliari in recent years, winning 5 of the last 6 head-to-head games in Serie A, with the other ending in a draw.

In the previous season, Inter won both games against Cagliari by a combined score of 7-1, with Lautaro Martinez scoring twice in each game.

In fact, the Argentinian striker has a knack for scoring against Cagliari in Serie A. His first-ever goal in Italy was against the Sardinians, and he has scored no less than 8 goals against them in total.

Cagliari, who returned to Serie A after a one-year absence, had a good start to the new season. They drew 0-0 against Torino in their first-round away match.

This was the Sards' second consecutive goalless draw in the new season, after their 2-1 extra-time victory over Palermo in the Cup.

Cagliari will play their first home game back in Serie A against Inter, the same team they faced in their last home game before being relegated. Inter won that game 3-1, Cagliari's fifth defeat in their last six home games in the top flight.

Suggested bet: Lautaro Martinez to score

Cagliari will be without injured players Gaston Pereiro, Marko Rog, Marco Mancosu, and Gianluca Lapadula for the Monday game.

Inter got off to a good start to the new season, winning 2-0 against Monza in the first round.

This was an improvement on their previous record against Monza, from whom they only managed to take one point last season.

Lautaro Martinez scored a brace as Inter Milan beat Bologna 2-0, with Marko Arnautovic making his debut and providing an assist.

The only question mark in Simone Inzaghi's starting lineup for Inter Milan's trip to Sardinia is whether to start the Austrian striker or Marcus Thuram.

Inter have won their last three head-to-head games against Cagliari in Sardinia, scoring eight goals in the process.

The guest's only unavailable player is Francesco Acerbi, who is still injured. Alexis Sanchez, who returned to the team after a year at Marseille, won't be in the squad for this game.

Suggested bet: Inter Milian -1 Asian handicap
