Napoli vs Cagliari Preview and Team News

Napoli Team News

In an unexpected twist, Napoli could become one of the most lacklustre Scudetto winners in the 21st century. Antonio Conte’s men do not look like the strongest team in Serie A this season in terms of quality, but the inconsistency of other opponents allowed Napoli a great chance to win their second trophy in three years.

They could have avoided a scare in the last round had they won against Parma. However, luckily for them, Inter also drew their game. Right now, a simple victory will guarantee them the title.

Ahead of the crucial match, Napoli only have three injury worries; Alessandro Buongiorno, Stanislav Lobotka and Juan Jesus are set to miss the fixture.

Napoli predicted lineup vs Cagliari (4-4-2): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Olivera, Spinazzola; Politano, Anguissa, Gilmour, McTominay; Lukaku, Raspadori.

Cagliari Team News

Cagliari have successfully avoided relegation after beating Venezia 3-0 at home. This was perhaps one of the strongest performances from Davide Nicola’s men, and the third goal will definitely be included in the club’s all-time best ones.

Will Cagliari maintain the same motivation in the match against Napoli? Of course, they won’t give up easily and put up some resistance, but with their place secured in the Italian top-flight, they might be more relaxed.

Yerry Mina returned from the injury and became one of the main players in Cagliari’s victory over Venezia. But Zito Luvumbo and Florinel Coman are still unavailable. However, only Luvumbo is considered a key player for Cagliari.

Cagliari predicted lineup vs Napoli (3-5-2): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Zortea, Deiola, Adopo, Makoumbou, Augello; Gaetano, Piccoli.

Napoli vs Cagliari Prediction 

• Pick: Napoli (-1.5) Handicap
• Odds: 1.53 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Napoli 2-0 Cagliari

Davide Nicola has long earned the status of Italy’s prominent managers and the 52-year-old coach has already accomplished his task of keeping Cagliari safe from relegation. In the final round, his team might be lacking motivation, which makes Napoli an even bigger favourite for the upcoming clash. 

In case of success, Napoli will win the second Scudetto in three seasons. This is an unique achievement for any team outside the traditional big three (Juventus, Inter and Milan). 

Four of the last five matches held at the Diego Maradona stadium ended in favour of the home team, while Cagliari suffered four defeats in their previous six away games. Therefore, we suggest choosing the following option – Napoli to win with a (-1.5) handicap. 

Napoli vs Cagliari Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score – No
• Odds: 1.60 (22Bet)

In the last match, Cagliari were flawless in the offence with 3 goals scored. They have scored more than two goals only six times this season. But on the road, their attack is not productive, averaging just 0.89 goals. 

Napoli, in turn, have the best defence in Serie A, conceding only 27 goals. Antonio Conte’s style is known for pragmatism and in the ultimate round, we don’t expect a different performance.

The hosts will try to squeeze their opponents’ attacks and not allow them to appear on the scoresheet. Therefore, our second pick for the game would be both teams not to score.
