Cagliari vs Napoli Prediction & Match Preview

Cagliari vs Napoli
Italy – Serie A
Date: Monday, 21 February 2022
Kick-off at 18:00 UK/ 19:00 CET
Venue: Sardegna Arena.

Napoli are one of the title-favorites this season in the Italian top flight, and have been in great form right from the start of the campaign. They are placed third in the table at the moment, and need a surplus of just two points to climb to the top of the standings.

Defense has been their hallmark all through this run. It deserves praise that they have conceded the least number of goals in the whole Italian top flight. In fact, they are the only team to have conceded fewer than 20 goals in the league.

Meanwhile, Cagliari are one of the worst teams in the Serie A, and they are rightfully placed in the relegation zone. They have won just four times all through the competition, and they have one of the weakest defenses in the tournament.

By the looks of things, expect a win for Napoli this Monday.

On the other hand, Napoli held defending champions Inter to a 1-1 draw at home in their latest league games, and then they followed it up with a 1-1 draw against Barcelona in their Europa League match-up.

Going on, they are on an eight-fixture unbeaten streak, and in the process they had gone on a three-match winning run. They have also lost just twice on the road in the past ten-month period, and one of these defeats had come against Inter Milan.

Considering these observations, and the h2h superiority of Napoli, expect a win for them this Monday.
