AC Milan snapped their three-game winless run with a 2-1 victory at Genoa, keeping their UEFA Champions League hopes alive.
The Rossoneri are three points behind second-placed Napoli and two points above Como and Juventus, who are fifth and sixth, respectively. A victory here could potentially secure a top-two finish, while a defeat could see them drop to the Europa League spots.
Rafael Leao, Alexis Saelemaekers and Pervis Estupinan were all suspended for Milan's trip to Genoa last weekend but are now available for selection. Moreover, there are no new injury concerns for Max Allegri’s side.
On the other hand, Cagliari came from behind to defeat Torino last weekend, ensuring their safety in the process.
While the visitors have three wins in their last four home games, they have conversely been one of the league's worst travellers with no wins in their last six away matches.
Moreover, Cagliari have a poor track record against Milan, with their last victory over the Rossoneri coming in May 2017. Unlike their hosts, Fabio Pisacane’s troops have nothing left to play for.
Both Mattia Felici and Riyad Idrissi are nursing cruciate ligament injuries, with Joseph Liteta still sidelined with a thigh problem. Leonardo Pavoletti and Luca Mazzitelli are also ruled out due to knee and muscular injuries, respectively.
On the positive side, Ze Pedro is available for selection after serving a one-game suspension against Torino.

Whispers Predicts: AC Milan 3-1 Cagliari
At 1.31, AC Milan are considered favourites by the bookmakers.
Given their dominance over Cagliari in the last decade, coupled with the visitors’ abysmal run of results on the road, we are confident that the Rossoneri will emerge victorious after 90 minutes.
It is also worth mentioning that Milan saw their defence breached six times in their last three matches.
On that note, AC Milan & BTTS – Yes is priced at 3.20.
> Over 2.5 total goals at 1.72 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 2.25 | Likelihood: Probable
> HT result: AC Milan at 1.71 | Likelihood: Possible
