Cagliari-Milan is a match valid for the twelfth day of Serie A and is played on Saturday at 6pm: stats, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
What is the real Milan? The one that last Tuesday was able to conquer the Bernabeu by beating reigning European champions Real Madrid 3-1 (and that a month and a half ago did the same by winning the derby with Inter against all odds) or the moody team with an all-too-fluctuating performance, guilty of having already lost so many points on the road in these early months of the championship?
At the moment, it is difficult to “define” the Rossoneri, coming off one of the greatest feats of the past two decades. An explanation has been attempted by coach Paulo Fonseca, who said after the resounding performance in Madrid that his men paradoxically struggle more in Serie A than in matches like this.
In any case, Milan has the duty, at this point, to find the continuity that has almost always been lacking so far, with the goal of moving up the standings in the league as well, which at the moment sees the Diavolo far from the top positions (they are 8 points behind the leading Napoli). It goes without saying that any misstep in the away match in Cagliari would immediately dampen the enthusiasm generated by the victory with Real, making the environment unhappy again. What about the Sardinians? The propulsive momentum for the two victories with Parma and Torino (and of the draw with Juventus) seems to have run out: the Rossoblù come from three defeats in a row, the last one suffered in Rome against Lazio and with Davide Nicola’s team even finishing with nine men due to the expulsions of Mina and Adopo at the end of the second half.
Cagliari-Milan: the latest news on the lineups
Nicola has to cope with the two absences due to disqualification of Adopo and Mina, both sent off in Rome. In place of the Colombian, former Atalanta man Palomino should play in defense, while in midfield it will be Marin’s turn to flank Makoumbou. Usual doubt for the red and blue coach regarding the three-quarter, where Gaetano and Viola will compete for a starting jersey.
He will definitely make a few changes from Madrid Fonseca: Musah, who was deployed as a surprise at the Bernabeu, will return to the bench and will be preferred to Chukwueze. On the other side will act Leao, while in midfield the dam formed by Reijnders and Fofana will be confirmed. In defense the pair formed by Tomori and Thiaw will be seen again. In attack out Morata, Camarda will be the starter.

The Prediction
It is Milan’s five consecutive wins against Cagliari, who have not beaten the Rossoneri since 2017. Fonseca’s team, rejuvenated by the victory at the Bernabeu, is favored for the three points but could pay for the physical exertion on Tuesday against Real Madrid. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the Sardinians will manage to score at least one goal.
The probable formations of Cagliari-Milan
CAGLIARI (4-2-3-1): Scuffet; Zappa, Palomino, Luperto, Augello; Marin, Makoumbou; Zortea, Gaetano, Luvumbo; Piccoli.
MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao; Camarda.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
