The 2024-25 edition of Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this week as Cagliari lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important encounter at the Stadio San Paolo on Friday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Napoli vs Cagliari Preview
Cagliari are in 14th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side eased past Venezia by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Napoli, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have been in excellent form this season. The Neapolitan giants were held to a 0-0 stalemate by Parma in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
