📰 Team News: AC Milan
It looks as if i Rossoneri will probably employ a 3-5-2 formation for this game and select Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic, Zachary Athekame, Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot, Davide Bartesaghi, Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku.
📰 Team News: Cagliari
Cagliari manager Fabio Pisacane has not got a full squad to pick from. Joseph Liteta (Hamstring injury), Leonardo Pavoletti (Arthroscopy) and Riyad Idrissi (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Semih Kılıçsoy and Mateusz Wieteska.
From our viewpoint, Casteddu / Rossoblu appear most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 formation, choosing Elia Caprile, Ze Pedro, Yerry Mina, Alberto Dossena, Marco Palestra, Alessandro Deiola, Gianluca Gaetano, Michael Folorunsho, Adam Obert, Sebastiano Esposito and Andrea Belotti.
✨ Prediction
We’re of the view that AC Milan look set to get amongst the goals when they come up against Cagliari, who will not find it easy to find the back of the net.
We can therefore see a decent 2-0 win for AC Milan at the end of this one.
