AC Milan has struggled in their recent matches, with only 2 wins in their last 5 games, scoring a total of 5 goals and conceding 8. Their performance at home has been inconsistent, which is reflected in their last match where they lost to Cagliari. In contrast, Cagliari has shown a stronger form, winning 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring 7 goals and conceding 6. Their away performance has improved, suggesting they are capable of competing effectively against tougher opponents.
The head-to-head statistics favor AC Milan, who have won 12 out of 15 encounters with Cagliari.

The average goals per game in their matchups is 3.27, indicating a tendency for high-scoring matches. Additionally, Cagliari's recent xG of 2.78 against AC Milan's 1.74 in their last match suggests they have been more effective in creating quality chances.
Tactically, AC Milan may focus on maintaining possession and creating chances through their midfield, while Cagliari will likely adopt a counter-attacking approach, exploiting spaces left by Milan's attacking players. This could lead to a dynamic match with both teams having opportunities to score.
