AC Milan has experienced a strong resurgence this season, revitalised under the returning coach, Allegri, and overcoming the previous season's struggles. Currently, they sit second in the league with 35 points from 10 wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss, just one point behind league leaders Inter Milan, making the title race highly competitive. With no European competitions and having already exited the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana, AC Milan can fully focus on the Serie A title chase. A win in this match would see them provisionally overtake Inter Milan and claim the top spot, intensifying their determination. Cagliari faces significant squad issues for this match. Injury concerns include midfielder Michael Folorunsho, who recently underwent an MCL operation and will be out for several weeks. Other players, such as Andrea Belotti, Zito Luvumbo and Matheus Pereira are also unavailable due to injuries. Adding to the problems, Zito Luvumbo has departed to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, creating a gap on the wing. On a positive note, Juan Rodriguez and Yerry Mina have recovered from illness and are available. Semih Kilicsoy, who has scored in the recent two games, is expected to lead the attack as the team's main attacking threat.
