Cagliari vs AC Milan Predictions

• AC Milan are unbeaten in nine matches, of which they’ve won five.
• The Rossoneri have not conceded a goal in their last three games, registering back-to-back shutout wins.
• Cagliari have lost their last two games without scoring, and three of their last five matches have contained under three goals.
• Each of Milan’s last four games have contained under 2.5 goals.

Rossoneri finding form at perfect time

Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan, unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions, lead Serie A after hitting form at the perfect time. The Rossoneri have won back-to-back games against Napoli and Empoli, both 1-0, to open up a three-point lead at the summit as they chase a first Scudetto since 2012.

Milan failed to create many clear openings against Empoli last week, with Pierre Kalulu’s fantastic long-range finish proving enough to earn them the three points after a resolute defensive display. Although Milan’s return of 55 Serie A goals is the third-best in the division, they’ve relied heavily upon their newfound solidity in recent weeks, keeping three clean sheets on the spin and seeing under 2.5 goals scored in four successive matches.

Cagliari, on the other hand, are struggling for goals, registering back-to-back shutout defeats against Lazio and Spezia to end their mini revival. The Sardinians are still above the dreaded dotted line, but only by three points after playing a game more, and their poor attacking return of under a goal per game in Serie A means they may struggle to threaten the Rossoneri.

Back title-chasing visitors for a narrow triumph

With Milan adapting their free-flowing game to a more prudent approach as the Scudetto run-in approaches, every Serie A contest for Pioli’s men is likely to be tense and hard-fought given the stakes at play.

With under 2.5 goals being scored in three of Cagliari’s last five, backing Milan to win a contest featuring a maximum of two strikes could be a way for Rossoneri backers to find good value.

Meanwhile, a 2-0 Milan victory could prove a decent correct score play; all of Cagliari’s last seven losses have seen them fail to score.
