Inter will be looking to make it two wins in two games in Serie A when they travel to Cagliari on Monday. The Nerazzurri started their season with a 2-0 win over Monza, whereas the hosts were held to a goalless draw by Torino.
The newly-promoted Cagliari, finished fifth in Serie B last season and will be hoping to stay up in the top tier this season. Facing Inter Milan at home is an early-season obstacle for them. They will need to find a way to deal with Inter striker Lautaro Martinez who started his season with a brace against Monza.
Inter are the clear favorites for this match, but Cagliari will be hoping to make things difficult for their opponents. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
