Milan vs Cagliari preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

 

The Serie A season comes to a close this weekend as the Italian top flight plays out its final round of the 2025-26 season, and there's still plenty left to be decided. 

DAZN is showing 380 live games across the 2025-26 campaign, and Matchday 38 sees Milan hosting Cagliari. 

It's a simple task for the Rossoneri on Sunday. Victory over Cagliari will be mission accomplished as they fulfil their pre-season remit of returning to the Champions League. 

Although they threatened for the majority of the season to make it a title fight with their city rivals, ultimately, Max Allegri's main job was to get the club back into Europe, and he's one game away from achieving that requirement. 

A home tie to a team safe and secure in mid-table is exactly what they would have wanted to, so as long as there are no last day hicuups against Cagliari, then all should go to plan for Milan. 

Because if it doesn't, Juventus and Como and both lying in wait to steal their Champions League thunder.
