Preview: Cagliari vs Napoli Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

The Azzurri are unbeaten in their last five fixtures against Gli Isolani.

Cagliari Calcio are now going to lock horns with SSC Napoli for their matchweek 30 contest of the 2025-26 Serie A. This is going to be an entertaining clash and is scheduled to take place at the Unipol Domus.

Gli Isolani have faced back-to-back defeats in their last two matches. They were completely outplayed by Pisa SC in their last match.

Cagliari Calcio will be at home for their next one, but it is not going to make things any easier for them. With just seven wins in 29 matches, they are in 15th place on the league table.

SSC Napoli have secured three consecutive wins and will now look to extend their winning run. The Antonio Conte-led side are in third place on the Serie A points table.

The Azzurri have gained some momentum now and will not be looking to slow down. Despite being away from home, they will be confident.
