&lt;p&gt;Second to last home match for AC Milan, who, while waiting to bid farewell to their fans in the final league match against Salernitana, would like to gift them a victory, something they’ve not managed since 6 April. Since then, the Rossoneri have earned just three points in four matches, enough to maintain second place behind Inter and keep Juventus at a distance of 5 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cagliari, on the other hand, have not yet secured salvation. The Sardinians have a three-point advantage over third bottom Udinese and can look down on Empoli and Frosinone. However, more points are needed to take the pressure off ahead of the last two games at Sassuolo and home to Fiorentina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan (96%, 64/67) and Cagliari (95%, 35/37) are the two teams that have scored the most goals from inside the penalty box in Serie A this season. The Sardinians (as well as Roma) are the team who have conceded the most goals from inside the area percentage wise (93%, 56/60). Meanwhile, the Rossoneri are the team who have conceded the most goals from outside the box (10).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan have scored 12 goals from corners this season, at least three more than any other team in Serie A and with only Arsenal (16) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (14) scoring more this way across the Big-5 European Leagues. Meanwhile, Cagliari have conceded nine this way, with only Frosinone conceding more in the Italian top-flight (11).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan are the team that have beaten Cagliari the most in Serie A, with the Rossoneri beating the Rossoblù 46 times (D27 L8). The Rossoneri have won seven of their last eight matches against the Rossoblù, conceding just two goals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan`s last home defeat against Cagliari in Serie A dates back to June 1997 (0-1 - goal by Muzzi). Since then, (1998/99 season onwards) the Rossoneri have picked up 17 wins and two draws against the Sardinians – with a points per game average of 2.79, the highest in the competition for a team against a single opponent (15+ games played in this period).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Olivier Giroud`s first two goals in Serie A came against Cagliari, on 29 August 2021. The Rossoneri striker has scored two goals in his last three home matches in the top division, this comes after he had only scored one in his previous 11.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yerry Mina scored both of Cagliari`s last two goals in Serie A and he has scored in the last two matches played with the Sardinians. In the era of three points for a win no Rossoblù defender found the back of the net in three consecutive appearances in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Augello, Gaetano (Cagliari)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Gabbia (Milan); Pavoletti, Dossena, Prati (Cagliari)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sozza (Carbone-Giallatini) IV: Tremolada, VAR: Irrati, AVAR: Chiffi&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A TIM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Torino-Milan (Saturday 18 May, 20:45 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sassuolo-Cagliari (Sunday 19 May, 12:30 CEST)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
