Cagliari vs Napoli prediction and betting tips - September 15, 2024
In the fourth round of the Italian Serie A, a match between Cagliari and Napoli will take place. The game will be held in Sardinia on Sunday, September 15, with kick-off at 18:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match is provided by Dailysports experts.
Cagliari
Claudio Ranieri managed to keep Cagliari in the top flight after last season, and his successor, Davide Nicola, is trying to implement a more attractive style of football. It hasn't worked out too well yet, but there is still plenty of time to improve.
After two home draws against Roma and Como, the Sardinian side lost narrowly away to Lecce. The upcoming match is another home game, so Cagliari will be looking to secure points.
Napoli
The loss to Verona in the first round was a wake-up call for Napoli. In the subsequent matches, the team has tried to prove that it was just a fluke, but their performance has not been entirely convincing.
If we look solely at the results, Napoli defeated Bologna and Parma, but there are some issues with their play. In the last match, they managed to edge out Parma in the final seconds thanks to goals from Lukaku and Anguissa.
Interesting facts and head-to-head encounters
- Cagliari has lost only once in their last ten home matches.
- Napoli has failed to win in four consecutive away games.
- Cagliari has not defeated Napoli at home since 2009.
Cagliari vs Napoli Prediction
Napoli needs an away victory for confidence, and they will do everything in the next game to achieve that goal. I don’t think Cagliari is capable of taking points from their opponent if Napoli plays their usual game. My prediction is a Napoli win.
