AC Milan vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting Tips (11 May)

Quickly dropping out of the race for the Scudetto this season, AC Milan is on the other hand firmly established in 2nd place in Serie A. With 11 points ahead of 6th place and 3 matches remaining to play, qualification for the next League of Champions is already in the bag. After having a string of good results, the Rossoneri appear less concerned in recent weeks. Indeed, they have not won any of their last 4 championship matches, 3 draws and 1 defeat. Defeated in front of its fans by Inter who recorded their title that day 1-2, AC Milan then shared the points with Juventus 0-0 and Genoa last weekend 3-3. Back within of the elite this season, Cagliari was logically expected in the fight not to go down.

The Sardinians are currently 15th in Serie A and are 3 points ahead of the first relegation place. More solid in recent weeks, they have suffered only 2 losses in the last 11 days, for 3 victories and 6 draws. However, after holding out against big draw draws against Inter and Juventus, Claudio Ranieri's men performed less well in the last two league matches. Cagliari first lost at Genoa 3-0 before conceding, at home, sharing points against Lecce last weekend 1-1.

Several elements are missing from AC Milan this weekend. This is the case of goalkeeper n°1 Maignan, important midfielder Loftus-Cheek (6 goals in SA) as well as the usual substitutes Mirante, Kjaer, Pobega and Jovic (6 goals in SA), all injured. On the other hand, the starting fullback Calabria is back from suspension as is the versatile Musah.

After 5 games without scoring, Olivier Giroud (14 goals and 8 assists in SA) found the net again on the last day. He should still be supported by his usual sidekicks Pulisic (10 goals and 7 assists in SA) and Leao (7 goals and 8 assists in SA).
