Our prediction for the Milan vs Cagliari match
The "Rossoneri" finished as runners-up in the league last season. But even second place didn’t convince the club’s management to change its mind, and they decided to part ways with Stefano Pioli. In Sardinia, Ranieri also retired in the summer. However, he had already won a tough relegation battle against Frosinone, with a one-point difference.
In the summer, Paulo Fonseca arrived at San Siro. His work raised questions from the very beginning, with many early matches resulting in setbacks. However, he was only sacked just before the New Year, by which time Milan had accumulated seven wins and 27 points, sitting in 8th place. The new coach made his debut in the Super Cup. After defeating Juventus and Inter, he won the trophy. On the island, Davide Nicola arrived. He started well, but by winter, his team had faltered. After losing four consecutive matches, they dropped into the relegation zone of Serie A and were defeated 0-4 by Juventus in the cup. January began with a match against Monza, which brought an important victory.
