Cagliari, Recent FormIt's fair to say Cagliari will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Udinese, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Udinese's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Their boss Claudio Ranieri is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 14 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 22 of their 25 games overall.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
Napoli, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Genoa, Napoli had to settle for a share of the points. They came away from that fixture with a 74% share of the possession and clocked up 25 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Genoa, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Walter Mazzarri will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 6 of their 12 games on the road.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Cagliari, losing 2-1 to Napoli.
From their past 9 away matches in the league against Cagliari, I Partenopei have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. Casteddu have struggled to keep Napoli at bay when these two teams have met at The Unipol Domus, during the last 3 times they have hosted Napoli in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
Napoli have managed to keep their hosts at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying Cagliari a win at home for 12 games in a row.
In front of goal, Piotr Zieliński has scored 2 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Napoli against Cagliari at The Unipol Domus and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
Cagliari manager Claudio Ranieri has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Pantelis Hatzidiakos (Physical discomfort), Marco Mancosu (Knee), Gaetano Oristanio (Foot), Marko Rog (Cruciate ligament) and Eldor Shomurodov (Foot) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri ahead of this clash, with Victor Osimhen (Personal reasons) missing out, which gives Mazzarri a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
