There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Serie A table so far. Here's the Cagliari - Napoli latest:
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Cagliari form and stats
The story so far in the Serie A for Cagliari at their home stadium (Sardegna Arena) is 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
In their previous game, the manager R. Maran led his Cagliari to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Genoa. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Sardegna Arena. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Parma that ended 2-2.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (22 in 11 games), Cagliari's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Napoli form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Napoli have produced an overall stat of 4-4-3 so far.
Napoli failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Lecce (placed 17th) that ended with defeat 2-3. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-2 at Sampdoria.
It's a bit worrying for Napoli that their goalkeeper David Ospina made seven saves in the Lecce game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Napoli are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 11 away games so far. In the opposite end, Napoli have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Napoli - Cagliari 0-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Cagliari one win, one draw and Napoli eight victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
