Both sides are already on holiday in this fixture as Inter have had their Scudetto party and Cagliari are destined for a mid-table finish.
Cagliari
Cagliari have done better than expected this season and can now relax during the final weeks as the other sides slug it out at the bottom of the table. Last weekend’s defeat against relegation-haunted Reggina extinguished the Isolani’s faint hopes of securing a Europa League place and there is nothing now to play for.
Revelatory Coach Massimiliano Allegri will be staying put after a superb maiden campaign at the Stadio Sant’Elia and he will hope to build on his success next year. But Allegri will want to enjoy the applause of the home fans after stunning the champions rather than in spite of a defeat. (Source: channel4.com)
Inter Milan
Mourinho will probably give a chance to some of the reserve players but on the other hand he announced Balotelli, Ibrahimovic and several other starters. We are yet to see how big Inter’s motivation will be and if they are tired from celebration. They will try to end the season in style and it would be no wonder if Mourinho demanded his team to win, as it would increase the gap over Milan and Juventus. Champions struggled to take a point against Cagliari at Meazza this autumn, which is enough of a warning to be careful here. They have good tradition on Sardinia and Mourinho’s side played much better away than at home this season. (Source: Freebetting.net)

Prediction
This fixture ended 1-1 back in January and Inter needed a late Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal to save a point. David Suazo sank his former side last year as the Nerazzurri managed a 2-0 triumph after a sloppy performance.
