Our Prediction for Napoli vs Cagliari
The team from Naples was the biggest disappointment of last season. After convincingly securing the title in 2022/23, they handed it away just as hopelessly, ultimately finishing outside the European spots in tenth place. In Sardinia, Ranieri not only brought his old and new charges back to Serie A, but also managed to keep them there. Although he narrowly won the battle for 17th place against Frosinone, finishing with the same 36 points as Empoli.
Claudio retired after that, though soon found himself in Rome. His successor, Davide Nicola, accomplished the main goal: maintaining their place. Although the team lost most of the late matches, a 3-0 win over Venezia secured survival ahead of schedule. Napoli are without Osimhen, Zielinski, and, since January, Kvaratskhelia. But with Conte on the bench and Lukaku and McTominay in the lineup, they are once again contending for the trophy. After waiting for a slip-up from leaders Inter, Napoli overtook them in May. However, a 2-2 draw with Genoa left only a minimal advantage. They then failed to score against Parma, but Lazio tripped up their former coach, drawing 2-2 at the end of the match.
Politano and his teammates are scoring 1.54 goals per game. This is not the most impressive result, but their defense concedes half as much—0.73 goals per game. The guests, as expected, have a negative goal ratio, 1.08 scored vs. 1.46 conceded.
