Both clubs need points from this game but for different reasons. 18th placed Cagliari host Inter who are second behind leaders Milan. Inter could start this penultimate league game of the season, five points behind Milan. That will be the case if Milan can get a home win over Atalanta earlier in the day. If that is the case, then only a win for Inter can keep them in the title race. Inter have won ten away games in Serie A this season, including three of the last four. Midweek saw them win the Italian Cup by coming from behind to beat Juventus 4-2 after extra time. Their last game of the season is home to Sampdoria and they will be all out to ensure that the title race is still alive when that game is played on the 21st.

Cagliari are in the relegation zone and a point adrift of improving Salernitana who play before this match. A win for their rivals would see Cagliari four points from safety and facing relegation if losing this match. Cagliari have only won three home league games this season and lost nine. Just 19 goals have been scored in 18 home league fixtures. Only one of the last seven at home has been won and overall, it's only four points earned from the last nine Serie A games. Their home record against Inter is poor with five losses in the last six league games. Inter can win this to keep the title battle with Milan alive.
