Napoli to regain form on the road at lowly Cagliari

Sunday 19th April 2015 – Kickoff: 1800hrs

Cagliari currently sit second from bottom of the Italian top flight and are eight points adrift of Atalanta going into this weekend’s round of matches on the back of yet another defeat last Saturday.

They went down 2-0 away at Genoa who have cashed in recently with this result and a midweek win over Parma, but this was an eighth loss from their last ten matches overall which is not the sort of form you want to be in before hosting a Napoli outfit who are looking to at least hold onto their Europa League place.

Indeed, Cagliari have posted just two points from the last 30 on offer and that’s thanks to 1-1 draws  with Torino and Empoli, while their home record looks a shaky  2-4-9  16/29 where they’ve lost four of their last five matches.

 

Napoli have produced some mixed results of late that, quite frankly, are bordering on poor to be honest, with draws against Inter Milan and Atalanta, along with losing their last four away matches on the trot which has really held them back from making a serious assault on one of the Champions League places.

However, a good 3-0 home win over Fiorentina last weekend should give them renewed momentum going into tonight’s encounter away at Cagliari where they really should get at least a point as a minimum requirement.

As mentioned, Napoli have lost their last four on the road with defeats at Palermo, Torino, Hellas Verona and Roma while their away record stands at an inconsistent  6-3-6  16/17.

 

As poor as Napoli’s recent away form has been, I still believe they can take the points against a Cagliari side who have struggled all season, particularly at home. I’ll give the quarter ball on the visitors, but they might just sneak this one perhaps 2-1.
