Napoli vs Cagliari Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Napoli Preview

Despite their recent drop in form, Napoli have still been the best side in the league this year, sitting at the top of the table with a one point gap to second place Inter Milan.

Napoli must win their game this weekend to ensure that they win the title, and will be hoping top scorer Romelu Lukaku can step up once again, as well as summer signing and ex Manchester United midfielder can add to his tally of eleven goals this season.

Napoli Predicted Lineup: Meret; Spinazzola, Olivera, Rrahmani, Di Lorenzo; McTominay, Anguissa, Gilmour; Raspadori, Lukaku, Politano.

Cagliari Preview

Cagliari haven't budged at all on their points tally from last season, as they currently sit on 36 points like they did when they finished the season last year. Of course they still have one game to better that, but Napoli are no easy opponents.

Despite not improving on their points tally from last year, Cagliari do find themselves two places higher in fourteenth place, with top scorer for the side Roberto Piccoli scoring ten goals this season.

Cagliari Predicted Lineup: Caprile; Luperto, Mina, Zappa; Augello, Deiola, Makoumbou, Adopo, Zortea; Piccoli, Coman.

Head-to-Head Stats

In recent years, it is no surprise that Cagliari have been second best against Napoli, with Cagliari last winning against their opponents since 2019. There have been some draws, but Napoli seem to be in control, scoring plenty of goals.

Betting Tips

Considering how much of a huge game this is to Napoli, it would of course be no surprise to seem them win this game.

Cagliari have nothing to play for, as they are safe from relegation, but could drop down some places.

Napoli wiill have strong motivation to win at home in front of their fans to win the title, so you can't expect Cagliari to put up much of a fight.

Final Prediction

Napoli easily win this game I believe, with Cagliari's season pretty much over already.

Napoli will of course not want to slip up and give Inter a chance to snatch the title, and with Cagliari having nothing to play for, Napoli should have a fairly straightforward win.

I think Napoli win 2-0.
