| PROBABLE LINE-UPS |
CAGLIARI  Agazzi Pisano, Canini, Ariaudo, Agostini Ekdal, Nainggolan, Conti CossuIbarbo, Larrivey | AC MILAN  Abbiati Zambrotta, Mexes, Thiago Silva, Antonini Nocerino, Van Bommel, Seedorf Boateng Ibrahimovic, Pato |
However, the hosts will still be without long-term absentee Davide Astori, with the former Milan defender still nursing a fibula fracture, while Nene is also a doubt as the Brazilian is struggling with a muscle strain.
Christian Abbiati should return to the starting XI for the champions, after making the bench for the recent victory over Siena, while Gianluca Zambrotta and Luca Antonini should also return for the visitors.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
- Only Atalanta have drawn more games than Cagliari this season.
- The hosts have only won once in their last 10 league games.
- Only the bottom two of Lecce and Novara have conceded more goals than Cagliari this term.
- No other team in Serie A have won more games than Milan this season.
- Massimiliano Allegri's side have only lost two league games this season, with both defeats coming away from home.
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored 10 league goals so far this season, only two less than Cagliari have managed in total.
With Milan unbeaten in their last 10 league games, and with the incentive to temporarily take top spot in Serie A, an away victory seems a likely outcome.

Cagliari 0-2 Milan
