Italian Serie A Clash: Cagliari vs. AC Milan - A Tactical Preview and Form Analysis Ahead of the Match

Cagliari's season objective is survival. Their recent form has been positive, with victories against Torino and Roma, and draws against Genoa, Como, and Pisa. This has lifted them to 14th place, six points clear of relegation-threatened Verona, easing some of the pressure. AC Milan, without European commitments this season, are aiming for the league title. Coach Allegri is a familiar figure in the Serie A title race. In their last league match, AC Milan secured a 3-0 home victory over Verona, with goals from Nkunku and Pulisic. Cagliari's recent record is two wins, four draws, and four losses in their last ten matches, demonstrating decent performances and a respectable attack. AC Milan's last ten games show five wins, three draws, and two losses, with their attack also struggling to consistently convert chances. AC Milan's away form has been strong recently, however, historically they do not perform as well on the road as at home. Cagliari have been playing well and the team's improved attacking and defensive performances, alongside the addition of four new foreign players, have significantly boosted their strength. This match presents a fascinating encounter between the two sides.
