On Mar 19th, Cagliari plays host to Milan in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Serie A teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which is great football weather. Cagliari is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Spezia. Martin Erlić struck first for Spezia in the 55th minute, then Rey Manaj added another in the 74th minute on a feed from Viktor Kovalenko In the end, Cagliari was frustrated by Spezia’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Spezia ended the match with the shutout victory. Cagliari is looking for direction having 4 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while milan is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Empoli. Pierre Kalulu Kyatengwa struck first for Milan in the 19th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Empoli couldn’t muster any offence and Milan ran away with the shutout win. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Milan should be reasonably happy with their performance.
In their last match on the 29th of August, Milan won by a score of 4 to 1. Sandro Tonali struck first for Milan in the 12th minute, but Alessandro Deiola got the equalizer for Cagliari in the 15th minute.
Milan is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Ante Rebić and Junior Messias each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Leonardo Pavoletti and Gastón Pereiro are the top scorers for Cagliari in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
