AC Milan vs Cagliari: Serie A Match Preview, Odds & Prediction
Next weekend, AC Milan and Cagliari will meet head-to-head in Serie A. The match will begin at 7:45 pm Nigerian time on Saturday and will be played at San Siro and feature teams managed by Sérgio Conceição and Davide Nicola.
Previous Matches and Head-to-head
The Italian powerhouse AC Milan has great plans for the next season. The Rossoneri will be gunning for victory since Milan is a perennial Scudetto contender and UEFA Champions League participant.
But Milan has stumbled. The Rossoneri will not win the Italian title and could not even make it into the playoffs. With 27 points after 17 matches, they are now in eighth position in Serie A, eight points lag behind fourth-place Lazio and seventeen points behind leaders Atalanta, who have played two more games.
On Monday night, Milan will play their city rivals Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup final. The following weekend, they will face Cagliari at San Siro in Serie A. Following last Friday's 1-1 draw with AS Roma at San Siro in Serie A, the Rossoneri advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup with a 2-1 victory against Juventus.
Despite its modesty, the Italian team Cagliari is content to remain in Serie A. One would think that the Gli Isolani faithful would be satisfied with a repeat of last season's 16th-place performance.
The team managed by Davide Nicola is now 17th in Serie A. They are now tied with Leece, who is in third place, with 17 points after 19 matches this season. Although Cagliari faces relegation to Serie B as the season comes to a close, they will certainly make every effort to avoid the dreaded drop.
Next weekend, Cagliari will face AC Milan away from home at San Siro in Serie A. Cagliari won their league encounter against Monza 2-1. It came after a rough patch after a 2-1 road loss to Venezia in Serie A and a 3-0 home loss to Inter Milan.

While AC Milan is struggling, Cagliari will unlikely be demoted to Serie B at the season's conclusion. The Rossoneri should pull off a tight victory in their Serie A encounter at San Siro, yet it is quite doubtful that they will find it simple to take all three points.
