Milan knows a win would guarantee them a top-four finish, but Cagliari also needs a point to be sure of their Serie A status. Read our Milan vs Cagliari prediction and betting tips.
The Rossoneri are on a roll after the 7-0 thrashing of Torino and an Ante Rebic hat-trick suggests Zlatan Ibrahimovic won’t be as badly missed as he has been in previous games. Moving Brahim Diaz to the center and Hakan Calhanoglu to the left of that supporting trio proved a tactical masterstroke for Stefano Pioli. The Champions League places may be decided this weekend as if Juventus don’t beat Inter on Saturday, the others could be beyond them. The battle for the top four had looked as if it was going down to the wire, but Juve’s 3-0 home defeat to Milan changed everything. Both Atalanta and Milan know a win this weekend – as they face Genoa and Cagliari respectively – will guarantee a top-four finish. This is because they both have a superior head-to-head record with Juventus.
That would leave it between the Bianconeri and Napoli going into the final round, but the issue could well be resolved before then. If Juventus don’t beat Inter today, Napoli will be in a position to secure their Champions League place with a win away to already-safe Fiorentina on Sunday. They have an identical head-to-head record with Juventus, so position if they were to finish level on points would be decided by overall goal difference.
Milan (4-2-3-1): G Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Brahim Diaz, Calhanoglu; Rebic
Suspended: None
Injured: Ibrahimovic
The Sardinians may well be safe before kick-off if Benevento falters against Crotone, sparking a party for all concerned at San Siro. Cagliari forward Leonardo Pavoletti believes the Rossoblu’s turning point came against Inter. ‘From there on we focused more on having the right attitude’. The Rossoblu sit five points above relegation with two games left and a win against Milan this weekend would guarantee safety. Pavoletti has started the last seven games, contributing two goals in the process, and he feels the turning point came with the performance in the 1-0 defeat to Inter.
Since then, Cagliari has picked up 14 points in six games and has climbed out of the relegation zone. “I believe [the turning point] came with the performance against Inter,” he told the media. “Torino won the night before against Udinese, on a penalty in a bad match. In my opinion, we felt bad and we said we were risking a lot. From then, we focused more on having the right attitude and put down the performance, and pick up the points. We realized that with the attitude, the performances were good, and we clung to that. Then, little by little, with the quality that is in this team and the thought of being close, the wins would arrive sooner or later. Winning brings enthusiasm, you claim three wins in a week and you think you are strong.”
Cagliari (3-4-1-2): Cragno; Ceppitelli, Godin, Carboni; Nandez, Marin, Duncan, Lykogiannis; Nainggolan; Joao Pedro, Pavoletti
Suspended: None
Injured: Rog, Sottil, Pereiro, Walukiewicz, Calabresi

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
