-------------------------------
AC Milan begin 2026 with an opportunity to overtake city rivals Inter at the top of Serie A when they travel to face Cagliari. The Rossoneri have remained unbeaten in the league since August and are chasing a fourth win in their last five matches. Their strong record in Sardinia adds to the confidence ahead of the visit.

Team Analysis:
AC Milan bounced back from Supercoppa disappointment by ending 2025 with a convincing league win, extending their unbeaten Serie A run and keeping them firmly in the title race. Under Massimiliano Allegri, the Rossoneri have found stability and consistency, relying on a settled core of players as they return to a venue where they traditionally perform well. Cagliari, meanwhile, are battling near the relegation zone despite a morale-boosting win last week and now face a tough start to 2026 against one of Italy’s strongest sides.

Player Situation:
AC Milan are hopeful Rafael Leao can feature after returning to full training, though he is not fully fit and several players remain sidelined. Christian Pulisic is expected to partner Christopher Nkunku in attack, with both showing strong scoring form late in 2025. Cagliari welcome back a couple of defenders but continue to struggle with absences, leaving Semih Kilicsoy set to spearhead their attack.

Result Prediction:
Despite a recent spell of defensive lapses, Milan showed signs of recovery with a clean sheet last week. Massimiliano Allegri’s structured back line is expected to restore stability. That solidity could pave the way for another win in Cagliari and a temporary return to the top of the table.

Predicted Result: Cagliari 0-2 AC Milan.
