Cagliari welcome AC Milan in the first Serie A round of the new year, facing one of the most consistent teams in the championship, but arriving with growing confidence of their own.
Prediction: Asian Handicap – Cagliari +1.5
This matchup points toward Milan maintaining control, but not necessarily pulling away by a large margin. Cagliari’s improved attacking confidence suggests they can remain competitive and keep the scoreline respectable.
Milan Chasing the Leader with Authority
AC Milan continue to impress with their stability and results, suffering just one defeat in sixteen league matches so far. They remain firmly in the title race, staying close to leaders Inter, and their dominance in this particular matchup adds further confidence. Milan are unbeaten in their last fifteen meetings with Cagliari, a sequence that underlines their historical superiority. The year ended in emphatic fashion for the Rossoneri, as they recorded a convincing victory over Verona, once again highlighting their efficiency and balance.
Cagliari Growing in Attacking Confidence
Cagliari should not be underestimated, especially based on their recent performances. They closed out the year with an important away win against Torino and have now scored in six consecutive matches. That run reflects a noticeable improvement in attacking belief and execution, making them less predictable and harder to shut out. At home, Cagliari tend to approach games with greater bravery, which could allow them to stay within touching distance even against a top opponent.
