AC Milan vs Cagliari Match Preview: Serie A Clash

Match Context

The Serie A clash at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan kicks off on 2026-05-24 at 18:45 (UTC). AC Milan host Cagliari on the final Regular Season - 38 matchday, with Milan sitting 3rd on 70 points and Cagliari 16th on 40 points. This is a league fixture, not a 1/8 final.

AC Milan & Cagliari Availability

AC Milan report no confirmed injuries or suspensions in the available data, so Stefano Pioli is expected to have a near full-strength squad. Key attacking figures Rafael Leão (9 league goals, 3 assists) and Christian Pulišić (8 goals, 4 assists) are both available and central to Milan’s forward threat.

Cagliari, by contrast, travel with several concerns.

• M. Felici (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• R. Idrissi (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• J. Liteta (Thigh Injury) is doubtful.
• L. Mazzitelli (Calf Injury) is doubtful.
• L. Pavoletti (Knee Injury) is doubtful.

No suspensions due to yellow cards or red cards are listed for either side.

Impact Summary

AC Milan retain their primary attacking output with Leão and Pulišić combining for 17 goals and 7 assists in Serie A, a major advantage at home. Cagliari’s most productive creator, S. Esposito (7 goals, 5 assists), is available, but the loss of depth from Felici and Idrissi, plus doubts over Pavoletti and Mazzitelli, could limit their rotation and late-game options in Milan.
