Prediction published on 16/12/2023, 04:18  by Kennedy Kechula in Serie A Predictions

Napoli will be at home on Saturday to welcome Cagliari in their next Serie A fixture. After 15 rounds of play, they sit sixth, 11 points above 16th-placed Cagliari. Napoli have lost their last two league matches and will be eager to not suffer a third. Having ended a three-match skid last time out, Walter Mazzari’s men will have their confidence levels up for this fixture. Napoli defeated Braga 2-0 at home in midweek to book their place in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. The Blues do not look like they will be defending their league title as they are already 14 points off the pace. Securing a place in Europe next season is their utmost priority now. I Partenopei have amassed 24 points and with victory here could end the round in the top four.

As Napoli are targeting a place in Europe, Cagliari are battling to stay away from the relegation zone. Claudio Ranieri’s men are only one point above the drop zone. They clawed their way out of the bottom three last time out and will want to keep peeling further away. With Napoli struggling for form, the Islanders will fancy their chances here. Cagliari secured a jaw-dropping comeback victory over Sassuolo in the last round as they scored twice in stoppage time to win 2-1. It was only their third victory of the season and moved them to 13 points. I Sardi haven’t won against Napoli since 2019. Their last win in this fixture did however come with them as the away side.
