The fixture has been heavily tilted toward Milan for years. The Rossoneri have remained unbeaten in 41 of their last 42 Serie A meetings with Cagliari, winning 31 and drawing 10, and they have scored 83 goals in that stretch for an average of 2.0 per game. Cagliari's only win in those 42 league meetings came on 28 May 2017, when they beat Milan 2-1. At home in Serie A, Milan have won 18 of their last 21 against Cagliari, with three draws, while Cagliari's last away league win at the Meazza dates to 1 June 1997, a 1-0 result decided by Roberto Muzzi.
The game also lands at a time when both clubs need a clean finish to their league season. After beating Genoa, Milan can win two Serie A matches in a row for the first time since early March, but they have taken only one point from their last three home league matches. Even so, Milan have won seven of their last eight final-day Serie A matches, a run that underlines how often they have handled the last day well. Cagliari, by contrast, have lost five of their last six final-day matches in the top division, have collected only two points from their last six away league games and have failed to score in their last two away league matches.
There is another layer to the contest: Milan and Cagliari are the two sides that have earned the most points from losing positions in Serie A this season, with 14 each. Milan have also scored seven penalty goals in the league, from nine penalties overall, and have been far more productive than Cagliari in front of goal with 15 goals from those situations. That kind of resilience has helped shape the season for both teams, but the numbers still point to Milan as the side carrying the stronger record into this late-May meeting.
