AC Milan vs Cagliari tips and predictions: Rossoneri to continue six-year run in Coppa Italia clash
Stefano Pioli head coach of AC Milan
AC Milan will be looking to kick off the New Year by sealing their place in the quarter-finals of Coppa Italia.
Rossoneri take on Cagliari on Tuesday night as they target their fourth win in five games across all competitions.
Stefano Pioli’s men enter 2024 with a sizable nine-point deficit to Serie A leaders Inter.
While closing the gap is not impossible, it’s fair to say that Milan’s best hope of a trophy this season comes in the cup.
Their opposition this Tuesday night comes in the form of a struggling Cagliari side.
Claudio Ranieri’s men ended the old year in the relegation zone, though they will be hopeful of starting the new one with a statement win.
Gli Isolani picked up just one victory from their last six outings and are winless against AC Milan in over six years.
The San Siro giants have won the previous three head-to-heads and are unbeaten in this fixture in 11 meetings.
With that in mind, we’re backing the hosts to get the job done. Milan to win to nil is our recommendation considering Cagliari have only bagged one goal in three outings.
Key stats
- AC Milan haven’t won Coppa Italia since 2003
- Cagliari are looking to avoid four straight defeats against Milan
