Milan-Cagliari official lineups: predicted scorers, cautioned players and marksmen of the challenge valid for the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.
Fresh from their soothing league success against Sassuolo, Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan want to rack up another victory on their bumpy season’s path. The Rossoneri, mothballed by numerous injuries, awaiting official news from the market challenge Cagliari with an absolutely experimental defense.
The round of 16 Coppa Italia final scheduled at San Siro is a real test for both teams. After a series of pyrotechnic comebacks, in fact, Ranieri’s Rossoblu are not going through a very good moment of form. Here are the choices of the two coaches:
MILAN (4-2-3-1): Mirante; Calabria, Simic, Theo Hernandez, Jimenez; Adli, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Romero, Traoré; Jovic.
CAGLIARI (4-3-1-2): Radunovic; Di Pardo, Hatzidiakos, Wieteska, Obert; Makoumbou, Deiola, Jankto; Mancosu; Petagna, Luvumbo.
Milan-Cagliari, the scorers prediction
At least at first you might not see a particularly electric match. The stakes are very high especially from an emotional point of view. Milan has the factors of prediction on its side and, barring any twists and turns, should respect the technical superiority evident at least on paper. In particular, there is one player in the Rossoneri ranks who has been carving out an increasingly starring role for himself in recent weeks. This is Jovic who, if well paced, could set his seal on tonight as well. A goal from the Rossoneri striker, who in technical terms can have his say, is a far from negligible option.
Probable cautions and shooters of Milan-Cagliari
The serious defections in the Rossoneri back line could set the stage for important chances in Cagliari’s favor. Among Ranieri’s men, after all, there are those who can make themselves dangerous from the medium-long distance with well-calibrated shots. We are talking, for example, about Mancosu and Jankto, who could undermine Maignan’s goal by framing the goal mirror defended by the French goalkeeper. On the opposite front, however, like the options leading to Reijnders and Chukwueze, who appeared on the ball in recent outings. Also worth attention is the cautionary tale. Both formations could resort to borderline interventions to curb opposing offensive play patterns. Makoumbou, Simic and Hatzidiakos are likely to end up in the naughty notebooks.
