Napoli vs Cagliari Tips
Tip 1
This is a free hit for Davide Nicola’s Sardinian raiders, who probably are not good enough to beat Napoli, but they are more than capable of winning at least three corners.
Napoli concede an average of 3.3 corners at home and are under pressure; Cagliari average 3.8 corners away and haven’t a care in the world.

Tip 2
Cagliari secured survival in Serie A last weekend courtesy of a 3-0 win over Venezia, but don’t expect them to go down with a whimper in Naples.
There is no love lost between these clubs and leaders Napoli are clearly feeling the heat after back-to-back draws against Genoa and Parma.
They should win, but don’t expect a one-sided hammering.

Napoli Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
- Napoli are top of Serie A and have won 13 of their 18 home fixtures in the league.
- Antonio Conte’s champions-elect also boast the best home defensive record in the table, with just 13 goals conceded in front of their own fans.
- Coach Conte will not be in the technical area after earning a suspension for a red card shown at the end of last week’s 0-0 draw at Parma.
- The league leaders are still set to be without influential midfielder Stanislav Lobotka with a sprained ankle. That should mean Billy Gilmour retains his place at the heart of a 4-2-3-1 set-up.
- Defensive duo Alessandro Buongiorno and Juan Jesus are also sidelined.
Napoli Predicted XI: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Olivera, Spinazzola; Anguissa, Gilmour; Politano, Raspadori, McTominay; Lukaku.
Cagliari Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
- Cagliari have won only three away games in the league in 2024/25.
- Veteran skipper Leonardo Pavoletti could get one last hurrah as he is available after serving a one-match ban.
- Another forward, Zito Luvombo, limped out of last week’s 3-0 win over Venezia and is rated doubtful.
Cagliari Predicted XI: Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Zortea, Adopo, Prati, Deiola, Augello; Piccoli, Viola.
Napoli vs Cagliari Head-to-Head Record
- Napoli have not lost in their last eight matches against Cagliari (W5, D3).
- When these sides met in the first game this season in Sardinia, Antonio Conte’s men romped to a 4-0 win with Giovanni Di Lorenzo opening the scoring.
