✅ Here is AC Milan vs Cagliari preview  for the Serie A Week 2 game on Sunday 29 August 2021 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy at 20:45.

AC Milan will be playing the first home game of the 2021-22 Season at San Siro.  The mood should be optimistic considering that a victory will give full 3 points to collect a total of 6 points after winning Week 1 Sampdoria 0 – 1 AC Milan and be among the top 5 positions.  For Cagliari, a victory means reaching 4 points helping them to be among the top 8 positions having collected 1 point last week, Cagliari 2 – 2 Spezia.   The last time AC Milan won two consecutive Serie A games was under Carlo Ancelotti in 2002/03 and 2003/04.

Stats between AC Milan vs Cagliari showing AC Milan with 43 wins, 27 draws, and Cagliari with only 8 wins.  AC Milan and Cagliari will play their 40th game in San Siro with stats AC Milan 26 wins, 10 draws, and Cagliari with 3 wins.

At this point, the pressure is more for AC Milan because they are pursuing the first objective to win the Scudetto as last season they ended up in the 2nd position after leading many weeks the first position.

Good news is that AC Milan have not conceded a goal in their last five Serie A games against Cagliari. The last team that AC Milan recorded more consecutive clean sheets against in the Serie A was Chievo Verona in 2016 (seven). The last time Cagliari won against AC Milan was at the Sant’Elia Stadium in May 2017 (2-1).

Curious detail, the last AC Milan game in San Siro was against Cagliari in May.  AC Milan will play for the second consecutive home game against Cagliari in Serie A.    AC Milan have not conceded a goal in their last 6 Serie A games.
