Italian Serie A picks for AC Milan vs. Cagliari

Before you tune in to Saturday's matchup, you need to see the AC Milan vs. Cagliari picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

For Cagliari vs. AC Milan, Green is predicting AC Milan to win and keep a clean sheet for a +140 payout. After a second-place finish in Serie A last season, AC Milan started its season with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sampdoria last week.

However, manager Stefano Pioli will only care about the fact that he was able to scrape together three points and he'll be able to put together a strong side on six days' rest and with two weeks until its next fixture. Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao have the makings of a formidable attack, with Giroud playing the role of target man and Leao providing pace on the outside.

Meanwhile, Mike Maignan filled in well for departed Gianluigi Donnarumma, who left for Paris Saint-Germain during the offseason. Maignan made a pair of critical saves to help thwart Sampdoria's attempt at equalizing, while AC Milan's defense positioned itself well to only allow three shots on target from 17 total shot attempts.

"If Tomori and Danish defender Simon Kjaer manage to keep him quiet, Milan should secure a routine win in this game," Green told SportsLine. "The Rossoneri have kept six consecutive clean sheets in Serie A and have not conceded against Cagliari in their last five meetings, so a win to nil for Milan looks interesting on Sunday."
