The visiting Milan side should be favourites in this visit to Cagliari, as the away team holds a 26 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
- Cagliari have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Milan has the most clean sheets (6) in Serie A
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Coppa Italia. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Atalanta.
It's quite the trip for Milan when visiting Cagliari as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Cagliari form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Cagliari have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Sardegna Arena. All in all it has been a very rough period for Cagliari who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Sampdoria, 72 days ago. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cagliari, their manager E. Di Francesco and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The fans are hoping that Cagliari will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the Coppa Italia game against Atalanta (placed 5th). Prior to that, an away loss at Fiorentina in the Serie A.
Guglielmo Vicario had a busy but productive day in the Atalanta match. Despite making eleven saves the loss could not be prevented.
The Cagliari fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 8 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Cagliari with 16 goals conceded in these matches.
