AC Milan vs Cagliari Prediction and Match Preview

AC Milan vs Cagliari Match Preview

• AC Milan won nine and drew one of the last ten clashes against Cagliari.
• Six of AC Milan’s previous seven league matches provided three or more goals.
• Cagliari shipped two or more goals in three of their last four Serie A outings.

AC Milan are hoping to return to winning ways after four consecutive winless games. They host relegation-threatened Cagliari on Saturday evening at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The visitors sit just three points above the danger area and desperately need points in the remaining three matches of the season.

AC Milan’s head coach Stefano Pioli clearly has problems with motivating his lads for the final stretch of the season. The Rossoneri are still 2nd in the Serie A standings despite going winless in six successive affairs across competitions. They drew 3-3 in an eventful tie against Genoa last Sunday.

Cagliari continued their winless thread last weekend. They drew 1-1 at home to Lecce. The match was full of tension. Cagliari had a goal disallowed and a red card in the first half of the affair. They defended well but still conceded a late equalizer at Unipol Domus.

Latest Meetings

• AC Milan have dominated this matchup historically. They won nine and drew one of the last ten meetings with Cagliari.
• AC Milan put seven goals past Cagliari in two H2H clashes this season. This includes a 4-1 win in the Coppa Italia last-16 round at the start of the year.
• The Rossoneri scored three or more goals in each of the previous four encounters with the Rossoblu.

AC Milan vs Cagliari Prediction

AC Milan are winless in six outings across competitions but everything points towards an end of this negative thread. The Rossoneri won nine and drew one of the last ten clashes against Cagliari.

They still own a strong home record with 11 wins, 3 draws, and 3 defeats in 17 Serie A fixtures at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza this term. Cagliari are also winless in four subsequent league matches. They have managed just a single victory in 17 away outings this season, losing as many as 11 along the way.

Also, six of AC Milan’s last seven league matches provided three or more goals. The run includes a 3-3 stalemate to Genoa last weekend. On the other side, we’ve seen three or more goals in four of Cagliari’s previous five Serie A affairs. AC Milan to win & Over 2.5 goals pick is the standout betting option at the 2.00 odds.

Olivier Giroud took his league tally to 14 goals by netting one of his team’s three in the last weekend’s stalemate to Genoa. The French forward should have plenty of space to deliver up front here against Cagliari.

The visitors conceded at least two goals in three of the previous four league affairs. We fancy Giroud to score anytime on Saturday at the 2.20 odds.
