The defending champions made a winning start to the season.
Inter Milan will travel to the Unipol Domus to take on Cagliari in a Matchday 2 fixture of the Italian Serie A 2026-27 season on Sunday, August 30, 2026. The visitors, who are the reigning Italian champions, won their opening game against AC Monza and will look to continue that momentum tonight.
Four players scored for Inter Milan in a 4-1 win for the Scudetto holders. Cristian Chivu had a stunning outing last season, leading the Nerazzurri to the domestic double, and the Romanian will hope that his side can give a similar performance tonight.
The three English signings – John Stones, Djed Spence, and Curtis Jones – will hope to make an impact for their new club tonight. However, they will have to be wary on the road against Cagliari, who won their opening match against Parma.
A 79th-minute strike from Alessandro Romano secured a 1-0 win for the Rossoblu, providing a solid start for Fabio Pisacane’s side. However, they will face a tough test against the defending champions.
