Napoli vs Cagliari Prediction & Betting Tips

Napoli vs Cagliari Match Preview

Napoli return to Coppa Italia duty with a strong run of recent performances behind them and a clear opportunity to extend that rhythm.

Cagliari arrive with mixed form and defensive concerns, although they have already featured twice in this season’s competition.

The recent head-to-head record leans heavily towards Napoli, which gives the hosts a favourable platform at home.

Napoli’s Recent Form Shows Control and Balance

Napoli have produced a solid stretch of performances in recent weeks. Their latest match was a 0-1 win at Roma, a result that highlighted composure in a tight away contest.

Before that they handled Qarabag 2-0 at home with clear control in possession and a confident defensive display. The 3-1 win against Atalanta added another sign of attacking sharpness and ability to stretch games when needed.

The only setback in this sequence came in the 2-0 defeat at Bologna, which briefly disrupted momentum.

Napoli’s overall trend points to reliable structure. They enter the Coppa Italia without a match played yet in this competition, but their general form suggests they are well prepared.

Cagliari Struggle to Find Stability

Cagliari enter this match with a more uneven run of results. Their latest fixture was a 2-1 defeat away to Juventus, where they stayed competitive but again conceded decisive moments.

The 3-3 draw with Genoa reflected some attacking life, though it also exposed recurring issues in managing transitions. The goal-less draw at Como was a steadier showing but offered little threat in the final third.

Recent losses at Lazio by 2-0 and at home to Sassuolo by 1-2 underline the defensive inconsistencies that have limited their progress.

Cagliari have already played twice in the Coppa Italia this season and scored six goals, which shows they can raise intensity on the day. However, their league form points to challenges in sustaining structure under pressure.

Napoli vs Cagliari Prediction

The main pick for this match is Napoli to win and under 2.5 goals at 1.83 odds. Napoli’s recent home wins over Qarabag and Atalanta showed clear control, yet several of their matches have settled into measured patterns rather than high scoring affairs.

Cagliari’s inconsistent finishing and defensive gaps make Napoli’s controlled approach likely to shape the tempo.

The correct score tip of 2-0 for Napoli appears in the tips and fits the general direction of both sides’ form.

Napoli have shown steady defensive organisation and enough attacking precision to secure a manageable margin. Cagliari’s recent run suggests they can compete in phases but may struggle to break through, making a controlled 2-0 outcome a realistic possibility.
