AC Milan Aims for Consistency as They Face Cagliari in Serie A

AC Milan is set to face Cagliari in a crucial Serie A match on Saturday, November 9, at the Sardegna Arena in Cagliari, Italy. The match kicks off at 12:00 PM ET, and it will be broadcast live in the USA on platforms such as Fubo, Paramount+, FOX Deportes, and DirecTV Stream.

Following their impressive 3-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League, Milan is looking to maintain their momentum and climb the Serie A table. They currently sit seventh with 17 points and have a game in hand. Coach Paulo Fonseca has expressed that he is more concerned about this match against Cagliari than the one against Real Madrid, highlighting the differing levels of motivation each opponent generates.

The Rossoneri will see some key changes in their lineup. With Alvaro Morata out due to a head injury and Tammy Abraham not fully fit, young striker Francesco Camarda will make his first Serie A start, becoming Milan’s youngest starter in the process. Samuel Chukwueze will also return to the starting XI, while Rafael Leao, who impressed against Real Madrid, will start on the left flank.

Cagliari, on the other hand, is in a precarious position, needing to snap a three-game losing streak in Serie A to avoid the relegation zone. They will be without Yerry Mina and Michel Adopo due to suspensions, with Jose Luis Palomino and Razvan Marin likely to replace them. The team will rely on players like Zito Luvumbo, Gianluca Gaetano, and Nadir Zortea to create scoring opportunities.

Historically, Milan has a strong record against Cagliari, having won 54 out of 91 matches between the two teams, with only nine defeats. In their last nine matches against Cagliari in Serie A, Milan has secured eight wins and one draw, conceding just three goals in this period.
