Cagliari vs AC Milan Preview
Cagliari
Calgliari’s poor start to their Serie A season sees them sit 16th on the table with just 9 points and only one point above the drop zone. In their 11 rounds of fixtures, they have six losses, three draws, and two wins, translating into an 18% win rate so far this season.
While their overall form has been poor, their home form has been even worse compared to their away form. They have one win, two draws, and three losses in front of the home fans while winning once, drawing once, and losing three times away from home.

Cagliari manager Davide Nicola prefers the 4-2-3-1 formation with Piccoli leading the line. However, the tactical set-up has failed to get the best out of his players. The defensive structure is struggling and shipping 19 goals, while the attack is struggling, scoring just 9 times in 11 outings in Serie A.
With no injuries reported ahead of the match, Cagliari’s task is getting the right tactics to enhance their chances of getting something from a red-hot, in-form AC Milan side on Saturday.
Our football betting predictions show that Cagliari will need to shift their tactical approach and shape to shore up their defense and enhance their attacking potency in Saturday’s clash against Milan.
AC Milan
AC Milan have had a relatively good start to their Serie A season with five wins, two draws, and three defeats. While this form is good, it has fallen short of the standard set by the pacesetters, Napoli and Inter Milan, the top two on the Serie A table. With a match in hand the difference is already 8 points and it will be difficult to compete for the Scudetto this season.
After the 0-2 home defeat against Serie A leaders Napoli, Paulo Fonseca have responded impressively by winning 0-1 away to Monza and pulling an impressive 1-3 result against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League that will certainly pump them up ahead of their clash with Cagliari.

New signing Alvaro Morata has seamlessly settled in Milan at the tip of AC Milan’s attack. However, the striker, who has been influential so far this season, was rushed to hospital with a ‘serious’ head injury and is a doubt for the trip to Cagliari.
However, between Tammy Abraham and Noah Okafor, AC Milan have enough depth in attack to cope without Alvaro Morata in Serie A.
Free football predictions on 22Bet show that AC Milan are in decent form so far this season. The Rossoneri will look to bolster this run with a win at Cagliari on Saturday and climb in the Serie A standings from their current 7th place.

- Score prediction: Cagliari 0-2 AC Milan
Football predictions analysis on 22Bet highlight AC Milan’s cutting edge in their attacking phase with an average xGF per match of 1.65. This shows that they create chances and take them.
Milan’s key players like Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic should be able to exploit the defensive lapses in Cagliari’s backline with ease. Pulisic, in particular, has been on a roll this season, scoring 5 goals and delivering 3 assists so far in Seria A while providing an assist in the UCL win against Madrid.
Coming up against Cagliari, who have conceded 19 goals while scoring 9, highlights why Milan are the favourites to win the match on Saturday.

AC Milan have a better attacking record than Cagliari; expert soccer predictions show that Milan are likely to be proactive in their approach, dominate possession, control the tempo, and create chances.
In the waning minutes of the match, Milan will have a lead to protect, which means they will not apply late pressure on Cagliari. Instead, the home side will be attacking, looking for a way back to the match, indicating why they are backed to have the last corner of the match.
