Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Monday’s football game at Sardegna Arena pits together Cagliari and Napoli, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Rossoblu aim to escape the relegation zone, while the Neapolitans are determined to stay in the Scudetto race. The Sardinians are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, but Napoli will pose a much bigger threat for the relegation strugglers than their previous rivals.
To make things even worse for the home team, all Nandez, Lovato, Rog, Strootman, Walukiewicz, and Ceter should miss out with injuries. The Partenopei, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Inter. Luciano Spalletti’s troops, though, did well to beat both Bologna and Venezia in the previous two away games, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. The likes of Lobotka, Lozano, Politano, and Tuanzebe are out of contention for the title-chasing team.
