AC Milan and Cagliari have three games to go in the Serie A season, as they look to secure their respective goals. For AC Milan, second is their aim, while for Cagliari, they want to make sure they stay above the relegation zone and avoid an late drama. These two take each other on in the second of two games to take place in Serie A on Saturday.
AC Milan Form GuideAC Milan are probably best described as stumbling towards second place, rather than really impressing and sealing the deal themselves. They have 71 points, that makes them five clear of Juventus with nine to play for, and thanks to Juventus also struggling, they've not really been put under too much pressure.
It's now no win in their last four league games for AC Milan, but three of them have been draws, and the defeat they suffered was against the now champions Inter Milan. Juventus, Sassuolo and most recently, Genoa, are the three sides they've drawn against in the league in recent weeks, turning those into wins would help them secure 2nd.
Cagliari Form GuideWhile Cagliari haven't been too good when you compare them over a full season, when the time has come, and they've needed to dig deep, they certainly have. Beginning the week, they are three points and three places clear of the relegation zone, and I do think they will be fine.
They have lost just one of their last six games, with one win, one loss and four draws. That's seven points on the board, more than a point a game, and more than most of the teams in the bottom half, they've delivered for the fans when it's mattered. A little more from the last three games, and the job will be complete.
Match PredictionBoth sides need the points, and while AC Milan are the better side, I am going to side with Cagliari here, they offer really good value in this game, and have shown they know how to dig deep. I will take Cagliari on the double chance market, covering them to win the game, or it to end in a draw.
