The first match of the year in Serie A pits Cagliari against AC Milan at the Unipol Domus Stadium in Cagliari. AC Milan sit second going into the game, while Cagliari are 14th. Read on to find our prediction for the match.
Cagliari haven't had the best of runs in the season but ended 2025 on a high. They registered their fourth win of the season after beating Torino 2-0 away from home. The win gave them some breathing space, as they are now six points above the drop zone.
Half of their 18 points have come from home matches, though it hasn’t been rosy against Milan over the years. Cagliari are winless in this fixture in the last 15 matches.
The visitors have seen a lot of success when visiting Cagliari and will be looking to keep that going. Milan’s 2025 ended in mixed fortunes, failing in their Super Cup defence, having earlier been eliminated from the Coppa Italia.
They, however, closed the year with a 3-0 win at home to Verona and will want to start off 2026 with a bang. Being just one point behind leaders Inter Milan, the Rossoneri will surely be giving their all here.
This is the only competition they are still in, and their league form has offered a boost. Milan are the only unbeaten side away from home in Serie A so far.
