⚔️ AC Milan v Cagliari Head-to-Head
Stefano Pioli and Claudio Ranieri will contest their third H2H this season, having faced off already in the league and the Coppa Italia. In both, it was AC Milan who ran out comfortable winners, by 3-1 and 4-1 score scorelines respectively.
3-1 was the league result when these two matched up at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari back in September. It was an entertaining game, with chances at either end. Cagliari had 16 shots, amounting to 0.88 xGF, while they allowed 2.19 xGA to a Milan frontline of Christian Pulisic, Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze – Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud were on the bench that day. More recently, in January, the San Siro hosted the round of 16 Coppa Italia game between these two. Despite rotation from Pioli, AC Milan ran out 4-1 winners, Luka Jovic stole the show with a clinical brace, although Cagliari goalkeeper Boris Radunovic had a day to forget with two crucial errors leading to goals.
📊 AC Milan Form and Stats
With three games remaining in Serie A, AC Milan currently find themselves in second place. A 2-1 defeat two weeks back to bitter rivals Inter Milan secured a 20th Scudetto for the Nerazzurri, which means the most AC Milan can play for this season is a second-placed finish. A Champions League position is safe and secure for next season, which has led to a slight dip in performance, potentially as complacency sets in.
AC Milan are without a win in their last four league games, conceding eight goals in that period. It’s been a deflating end to the season, having been eliminated from the Europa League at the hands of Roma, to then concede the title to main rivals Inter Milan in their shared home ground. With the domestic season drawing to a close in just under three weeks, Pioli will be looking for a more positive conclusion.
📊 Cagliari Form and Stats
Meanwhile, Cagliari find themselves in 15th, not quite home and hosed yet. They sit a nerve-jangling three points off Udinese in 18th with fixtures against AC Milan, Fiorentina and fellow relegation scrappers Sassuolo still to come.
A recent run of positive results has alleviated some pressure, lifting them out of the relegation zone. Claudio Ranieri will be searching for more points on the board to relax any notion of relegation to Serie B. In the last 11 league games, Cagliari have lost just two. They’ve typically been competitive against the better teams too, having taken points from Napoli, Inter Milan, Atalanta and Juventus in that run.
Their resurgence can be credited to some notable home form – undefeated in their last six. On the road, however, Cagliari have managed just two wins in 19 games all season – with 12 losses.
💰 AC Milan v Cagliari Best Bets
With little to play for in the remaining three games, AC Milan have loosened their rearguard, and have been conceding goals at will. Contrastingly, Cagliari will still be on the hunt for points to secure safety. Both teams to score at 1.73 with Betfair looks like an attractive price, given it has landed in four of both teams’ last five games.
Previous meetings between these two this season have seen 8 corners in the league, and 9 corners in the cup. Once again, chances are expected at either end, so over 8.5 corners at 1.4 with Betfair is a solid leg in a bet builder. Our guide to betting on corners offers great insight into the market, as does our Betfair review if you’re unfamiliar.
