AC Milan should finish their campaign with a statement win over Cagliari. The Rossoneri sit third with 70 points after 37 games and still carry title-race momentum into this final Sunday fixture. Rafael Leão continues to look the standout attacker, and his pace and directness ought to stretch a Cagliari side that has already secured mid-table safety.
Cagliari arrive with 40 points and little left to fight for. Their recent results show mixed form, including a 2-1 win over Torino and a 3-2 victory against Atalanta, yet they also suffered heavy defeats to Inter and Udinese. Several key names remain unavailable, among them Mattia Felici and Riyad Idrissi with season-ending cruciate injuries, plus Leonardo Pavoletti, Luca Mazzitelli and Joseph Liteta all carrying knocks.
The only recent head-to-head meeting saw Milan edge a 1-0 win in January. That narrow scoreline hints at a tight contest on paper, but the gap in squad depth and motivation tells a different story this time around. And with the season ending, expect Milan to push forward from the start rather than sit back.
Leão will likely create the decisive moments. His ability to beat defenders and link play has been a constant highlight all campaign. Cagliari simply lack the firepower to match that threat once their injured players are factored in.
Milan know a strong result keeps pressure on the sides above them. They have the tools to dominate possession and create clear chances. Cagliari will battle but look short of the personnel needed to stop the hosts from taking control.
