AC Milan vs Cagliari Match Preview

Match Context

The Serie A clash at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan on 24 May 2026 (kick-off 18:45 UTC) closes the Regular Season - 38 round. AC Milan enter the fixture in 3rd place on 70 points with a goal difference of 19, while Cagliari sit 16th on 40 points and a goal difference of -14.

AC Milan & Cagliari Availability

AC Milan report no confirmed injuries or suspensions in the available data, so Stefano Pioli should have his key attacking threats ready. Rafael Leão (9 league goals, 3 assists) and Christian Pulišić (8 goals, 4 assists) are both available and central to Milan’s forward options.

Cagliari, by contrast, face several issues.

• 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.

Impact Summary

Milan retain their full attacking core, including Leão and Pulišić, preserving a significant share of their 52 league goals. Cagliari’s absentees mainly affect depth and rotation around creative hub S. Esposito, who has contributed 7 goals and 5 assists. With Esposito available but several supporting midfield and attacking options either sidelined or doubtful, Cagliari’s flexibility in sustaining their 38-goal output could be reduced, especially late in the game.
