Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Cagliari lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important clash at the Sardegna Arena on Sunday.
Cagliari vs Napoli Preview
Napoli are currently in ninth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Neapolitan giants held Barcelona to an admirable 1-1 draw in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Cagliari, on the other hand, are in 19th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled so far this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Udinese last week and has a point to prove in this match.
