At the Sardegna Arena on Monday night, ‘Lord Zlatan’ ought to be prepared to recover his Serie A seat, as he hopes to get from the latest relevant point of interest having hit the net twelve times in only seven matches. Moreover, Hakan Calhanoglu, who has only one league goal up until this point yet has laid on six assist and made incalculable different chances, is additionally expected back in the team after a new lower leg issue.

Ibrahimovic has additionally scored in every one of his last six league games against Cagliari, so it likely could be the ideal time for the Swedish whiz to make his Seria A rebound. Wavering near the very edge of emergency, Cagliari are endeavoring to rise up out of an agonizing run of structure that has left them sixteenth in the standings and in danger of being sucked into the crush of a relegation fight.
Previous Roma mentor Eusebio Di Francesco’s group frequently please the eye, yet are too weak in defense. The Isolani’s last group triumph goes back to early November and tolerance with their administrator’s protestations is steadily wearing ragged.

Positively not the best an ideal opportunity to invite league pioneer Milan to Sardinia for the hapless home side, it is difficult to perceive how Cagliari can get anything out of this game. With key men returning into the crew, the Rossoneri can end Serie A eighteenth match with a success to keep one stride in front of the pursuing pack. Hence, we predict a win for AC Milan.
