The 2025-26 edition of Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Cagliari lock horns with an impressive Napoli side in an important encounter at the Stadio San Paolo on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes over the past year and will want to win this game.

Napoli vs Cagliari Preview

Cagliari are currently in 11th place in the Serie A standings and have been inconsistent over the past year. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Napoli, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The Neapolitan giants eased past Sassuolo by a comfortable 2-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Napoli have an excellent recent record against Cagliari and have won 21 out of the last 38 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Cagliari's paltry four victories.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
