Can AC Milan add to their 4-game unbeaten streak?

The stage is set for one of the highly contested race for the last remaining Champions League spot in the Serie A with AC Milan leading the pack with 36 points, holding a slender one-point lead over Atalanta, AS Roma and Lazio with Sampdoria three points behind the Rossoneri. Just seven points separate the fourth positioned AC Milan and the twelveth placed Parma.

AC Milan has started the post-Christmas leg in decent form, losing just once against Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana in eight matches since. The Rossoneri will be looking to continue their impressive turn around in form as they host relegation-threatened Cagliari at home in San Siro on Sunday.

If AC Milan had an impressive new year Cagliari has had a new year to forget so far with I Rossoblu failing to win any of their last five matches since the turn of the year. Rolando Maran and his men are just four points of the relegation zone and another defeat may prove very fatal for the team from south of the capital city of Rome.

The first encounter between the sides ended in stalemate at the Sardegna Arena with Gonzalo Higuain cancelling out an early lead through Pedro to end the match 1-1.
