AC Milan’s Charge and Cagliari’s Quest: A Tale of Two Teams
Key Stats
– Cagliari have managed only one goal in five fixtures.
– Cagliari’s past encounters with AC Milan have seen them lose 28 out of 37 times.
AC Milan, who sit comfortably in second place, are enjoying a prosperous start to their Serie A campaign. Under the vigilant gaze of Stefano Pioli, they have already bagged four victories in their initial five clashes. Contrasting that, Cagliari, steered by Claudio Ranieri, find themselves grappling at the near-bottom, having salvaged only two points from their opening quintet of matches.
Cagliari’s Turbulent Times
The Sardinian side, fresh from their promotion after a spirited play-off push in Serie B, seems to be struggling with the tempestuous seas of the Serie A. Though they exhibited grit in their goalless standoffs against Torino and Udinese, they were noticeably outmatched by heavyweights such as Inter Milan, Bologna, and Atalanta.

Their lone goal this season, courtesy of Zito Luvumbo, paints a grim picture for Ranieri’s squad, especially with an impending clash against the red-hot AC Milan.
AC Milan’s Resurgence
AC Milan’s journey this season is almost like reading a heroic epic. With three consecutive triumphs against Bologna, Torino, and Roma, they’ve showcased their might. However, they did suffer a setback, a harsh 5-1 defeat against their arch-nemesis, Inter Milan. Nevertheless, the Rossoneri, true to their spirit, have since regained their stride, conquering Hellas Verona recently.
The Tactical Playbook
Injury woes plague both sides, with Cagliari likely missing the services of Gianluca Lapadula and Marko Rog. Nonetheless, Ranieri seems inclined to deploy his trusted 3-5-2 strategy. Milan, not free from injury concerns either, appears set to leverage a 4-2-3-1 layout with Olivier Giroud spearheading their attack.
Cagliari vs AC Milan: By the Numbers
Diving into the numbers offers a vivid portrayal of both teams’ narratives. Cagliari’s 6.70 average BettingTips4You Expert Rating places them 19th in Serie A. Their sole goal, set against six conceded, along with a mere six shots on target in five matches, underlines their current plight.
AC Milan, on the flip side, boasting an average rating of 6.89, sits mid-table in rankings but excels in the performance metrics. With 10 goals in five games and an impressive ball possession of 55.4%, they indeed are a force to reckon with.
Predictions
- Match Outcome Prediction: Analysing the stats and considering Cagliari’s precarious form, a solid AC Milan victory seems plausible.
- Correct Score Prediction: Given Cagliari’s defensive lapses and Milan’s attacking prowess, a 2-0 victory for AC Milan can be envisioned.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Olivier Giroud, with four goals already, seems the most likely candidate from AC Milan to find the net, possibly etching his name on the scoresheet.
- Corner Prediction: Historically, teams that dominate possession tend to win more corners. Given Milan’s average possession stat of 55.4% versus Cagliari’s 38.2%, AC Milan should win more corners. Predicting a combined corner count, a total of 7-8 corners throughout the game seems reasonable.
