In midfield Rade Krunic expects to fill in for Bennacer slotting in besides Sandro Tonali. Who had possibly his best performance in Milan colors against Sampdoria, showcasing the defensive understanding and mobility carrying the ball that we had all hoped to see. When he first signed at the club.

The Opponents
Cagliari started the season with a 2-2 draw at home to Spezia coming back from down 2-0 with a Joao Pedro 4 minute brace. The Sardinia side come into the season looking to establish an identity under relatively new manager Leonardo Semplici who was hired towards the end of February of last season. He took over a team that was struggling in the relegation zone and proceeded to put together an impressive run of one loss in their final 8 games (W4 D3 L1) too secure top division safety.
The club’s transfer window featured the redemption of Razvan Marin on an 10m deal from Ajax and a 3.5m deal for Pescara’s young fullback Gabriele Zappa. As well as blast from the past Serie A players with the likes of former Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman, Inter’s fullback Dalbert and Parma’s Alberto Grassi all coming in on loan.
The Cagliari side are expected to lineup in Semplici’s patented 3-5-2 featuring Diego Godin anchoring the defense, flanked by the highly sought after Nahitan Nandez on the right and the aforementioned Dalbert on the left, Marin and Strootman in midfield, and the prolific Joao Pedro partnered with Leanardo Pavoletti up top.
Probable Cagliari XI (3-5-2): Radunovic; Ceppitelli, Godin, Carboni; Nandez, Marin, Strootman, Deiola, Dalbert; Joao Pedro, Pavoletti
