The two sides

Cagliari carry a model rating of 6.88 against 7.16 for Inter. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.69 goals for Cagliari and 2.16 for Inter. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Cagliari rate 1.09 in attack and 1.02 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Inter rate 1.51 and 0.82.

That points to 74% for over two and a half goals and 72% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-2 (8%), 1-1 (8%), 2-2 (7%).
