Napoli seeks a top-four finish, but Cagliari is desperate for points in their race for survival. Read our reasons for Napoli vs Cagliari prediction and betting tips.
The Azzurri are among the most in-form teams in Serie A, having managed 10 points in the last five games. Gennaro Gattuso is reportedly re-evaluating his position at Napoli, thanks to the affection of his players and the trust of the sporting director. Local media reported Gattuso could eventually change his mind and the icy front that separates him from President Aurelio De Laurentiis seems to gradually thaw. Tiemoue Bakayoko and Victor Osimhen secured a 2-0 win over Torino on Monday and Napoli are currently involved in a wide-open battle for the Champions League next term.
The newspapers claimed the sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has shown Gattuso support throughout the season and the former Milan coach is happy with the affection shown by his players at Castel Volturno. The tactician would, according to the report, be ready to listen to De Laurentiis, should propose a renewal of the current contract. It’s not a complete turnaround yet, but rather an opening and the success on the pitch in recent weeks makes the patron consider negotiating with the Calabrian coach. Napoli has currently tied on points with Milan and Juventus ahead of the last five games, and two points behind second-placed Atalanta ahead of a thrilling run-in.
Napoli (4-2-3-1): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly, Hysaj; Ruiz, Demme; Politano, Zielinski, Insigne; Osimhen

Injured: Ghoulam, Ospina
Cagliari has won the last three games in a row and is out of the relegation zone on goal difference. Razvan Marin managed two goals and as many assists in the last three games but is serving a one-match ban against the Partenopei. Leonardo Semplici warned Cagliari ‘have it all to do’ still after beating Roma 3-2 and catching Benevento in the battle to avoid relegation. The Sardinians notched up a third consecutive victory, getting the better of Parma, Udinese, and now seventh-placed Roma. “Joao Pedro had a great game, as well as the excellent goal, he sacrificed himself for the team. Everyone did, we showed character against a strong Roma team, we are happy with the result, as nine points in three games take up back into the fight for our objective,” Semplici told the media.
Benevento was beaten 4-2 by Udinese, with Spezia losing 2-0 at Genoa, opening the relegation battle right up. “Our energy must be focused on our performance. We knew the other results and that we had the chance to catch up to the others, we took it by suffering as a team. At some moments, we could’ve been a little more daring, but we lost Gaston Pereiro this week and feared COVID might’ve spread even further, so there were some uncertainties in the group. There is so much quality in this squad, you just have to read the names, but the first half of the season saw them unable to make that quality count. They’ve all shown grit in the past and I don’t know why they were unable to do the same here. We had long talks, looked each other in the eye, and realized this team could not lose so often, or at least had to lose differently. We now try to respect every opponent and fear nobody. That attitude has slowly allowed the character to emerge. Ultimately, the main job of a coach is to put his players in a condition to express themselves with their characteristics.”
Cagliari (3-5-2): Vicario; Ceppitelli, Godin, Carboni; Zappa, Nandez, Duncan, Nainggolan, Lykogiannis; Joao Pedro, Pavoletti
Suspended: Marin
Injured: Rog, Sottil, Pereiro

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
