AC Milan-Cagliari completes the 2025-2026 Serie A season along with four other matches , and for the Rossoblu it has no standings value, only prestige. Reliability was secured last Sunday, beating Torino 3-2. For Fabio Pisacane and his team, the goal is to finish the season on a high and secure a victory that hasn't been achieved at home since another final matchday, dating back to June 1, 1997. But on the other side will be former great Massimiliano Allegri, chasing the points needed to qualify for the Champions League (the club's minimum objective).
Against Milan, it will be Marco Palestra's last match for Cagliari, as he ends his loan spell and returns to Atalanta. The recently named Serie A best defender will obviously play wide right, with Adam Obert on the left in a likely 3-5-2 formation . Up front, Sebastiano Esposito and Gennaro Borrelli are favored over Paul Mendy and Yael Trepy, having played key roles in the Primavera's 3-0 victory away to Napoli yesterday, which saved them from the play-offs. Mattia Felici, nearly six months after his injury, and Luca Mazzitelli are back in the squad, joining Andrea Belotti on the bench, while Zé Pedro, returning from suspension, will be in the back three.
Here are the probable lineups for Milan-Cagliari : referee Marco Guida of the Torre Annunziata section will take the match, kick-off is at 8:45 PM. Follow the match live on unionesarda.it and watch live radio commentary on Radiolina.
