Cagliari hosts AC Milan in round 18 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, January 18th at Sardegna Arena (Cagliari)
For several years in a row, the Islanders held the status of the middle peasant in the Italian elite. Cagliari did not lay claims to European cups, but it did not fight for survival on a regular basis either. The team is headed by Eusebio Di Francesco, who recently failed at the helm of Roma. Under the leadership of this talented but unlucky mentor, the Red-Blues are in the lower part of the standings. The team has a lot of experienced footballers with serious careers at a high level. Nainggolan, Simeone, Cragno, Nandez, Rog - these guys are among the best players in their positions in the Italian championship.

Rossoneri held the powerful and promising first half of the season. Milan is currently in the lead in the standings. Under the management of an experienced coach, the team demonstrates high performance on the pitch and achieves results through a pragmatic approach. Milan recently suffered its first defeat in the championship, losing to Juventus (1: 3). This failure did not break the club - a victory over Torino (2:0) and a 3-point lead over Inter. The selection of Milan favorably distinguishes the club from other grandees of national football. Management is not chasing the stars, giving preference to those players who are ready to work for the team. Such players as Saelelmaekers, Hauge, Brahim Diaz, Kjaer, and Dalot appeared in the camp of Rossoneri. Ibrahimovic, Donnarumma, Romagnoli, Kessie, and Calhanoglu take on the role of the team leaders.
Modern Cagliari has a lot of game problems that prevent the club from firmly establishing itself in the middle of the standings. The main difficulty for Di Francesco is the organization of the defensive actions of his charges (34 conceded goals). Therefore, Milan is extremely dangerous for the Islanders. Pioli’s team knows how to put the squeeze on their rivals and pragmatically keep the required score.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win
