AC Milan have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches. Their most recent result was a 2-1 win over Genoa. It has been a mixed bag of results, and they will be looking to build some consistency.
Cagliari have picked up 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in their last 5 outings. They come into this off the back of a 2-1 win against Torino. Away form has been inconsistent, and getting a result here will be a test of their character.
Both sides have been producing comparable results over their recent matches, which suggests this could be a tight and competitive affair with little separating the two teams.
