"Starting 2026 with a golden opportunity to leapfrog their city rivals, AC Milan travel to Sardinia on Friday to face Cagliari in a crucial Serie A fixture. The Rossoneri, unbeaten in the league since August, can reclaim top spot from Inter Milan with a fourth win in five games, and history suggests they enjoy their visits to the island."
"The odds are stacked against the hosts, who have managed just five wins in 46 home meetings with Milan. Their last success came in May 2017, when Fabio Pisacane scored a dramatic late winner in a 2-1 triumph."
"Pisacane can welcome back Juan Rodriguez and Yerry Mina from illness, but Andrea Belotti, Ze Pedro, Mattia Felici, and Michael Folorunsho are unavailable. Folorunsho recently underwent MCL surgery and faces weeks on the sidelines, while Zito Luvumbo is away at AFCON. Kilicsoy, who has scored in his last two appearances, should lead the line, supported by Gianluca Gaetano, Gennaro Borrelli, or Inter loanee Sebastiano Esposito."
AC Milan travel to Sardinia to face Cagliari with the chance to leapfrog Inter Milan and reclaim top spot in Serie A. Milan are unbeaten in the league since August and seek a fourth win in five matches. Cagliari have won only five of 46 home meetings with Milan, with their last home victory in May 2017. Fabio Pisacane now manages Cagliari and must steer the club clear of relegation. Cagliari gained a vital 2-1 win at Torino last weekend but remain 14th. Several Cagliari players are unavailable due to injury or AFCON, while Kilicsoy leads the attack.
