Cagliari vs Napoli prediction and betting tips on February 25, 2024
Napoli will play their match in the 26th round on the island of Sardinia, where they will face the local team Cagliari at the Unipol Domus arena. Here's the prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Cagliari
The "red-blues," previously considered a strong mid-table team in Italian Serie A, are now fighting for survival. Ahead of the upcoming match, Cagliari sits in the penultimate position in the league table, with only 19 points from 25 matches. Last weekend, the "Islanders" played to a 1-1 draw away against Udinese. Consequently, Claudio Ranieri's squad has been unable to secure a victory in their last five consecutive matches. Moreover, considering all competitions, Cagliari has only managed one win in their last 13 matches. It's worth noting that Cagliari often suffers heavy defeats against top opponents, such as 1-3 against Lazio, 1-4 against Milan, and 0-4 against Roma.
Napoli
Last season was triumphant for Napoli, but this season, it seems they will miss out on a Champions League spot. Midweek, the "Partenopei" played their first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Barcelona, managing only a 1-1 draw in Naples. In the league, Napoli played to a 1-1 draw against Genoa last weekend and suffered a 0-1 defeat to Milan away before that. As a result, after 24 matches, Napoli occupies only the ninth position. The recent setbacks led to the management making two coaching changes in a season for the first time in 26 years. Francesco Calzona led Napoli in the match against Barcelona.
