Cagliari, currently 14th in the Italian Serie A, has shown inconsistent form recently, with only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 10 matches. Their home performance has also been unconvincing, and they face the absence of several key midfielders and forwards due to injuries or international duty, which will significantly impact their attacking capabilities. AC Milan sits second in the league standings and has displayed consistent performance, with a record of 5 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 10 matches. They remain undefeated in away games, showcasing their strong away form and squad depth. Historically, AC Milan holds a clear advantage over Cagliari, with 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 encounters. From a numerical perspective, the Asian handicap initially set AC Milan at a one-goal advantage, with the away team's water value at 0.95, which has slightly adjusted to 0.96. The home team's water value slightly decreased from 0.93 to 0.92, maintaining a one-goal spread, indicating external confidence in an AC Milan victory. The odds for an AC Milan win are concentrated around the low value of 1.53, while the odds for a home win are high, above 6.00, and the odds for a draw exceed 4.20, clearly favoring the away team. The total goals are set at 2.5, with the over and under water values nearly balanced, at 0.95 and 0.93 respectively. However, AC Milan's recent attacking form is reliable, making them likely to score. Considering the current form, squad completeness, and head-to-head records, Cagliari has vulnerabilities in both attack and defense, while AC Milan, supported by both their strength and the numerical data, is more likely to win away. Prediction: AC Milan -1. Predicted score: 0-2, 0-3.
