Napoli hosts Cagliari in round 5 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 25th at Stadio San Paolo (Naples)
The Neapolitans are on the third line in the Italian Serie A standings. The team of Carlo Ancelotti lost points only once. Napoli lost to Juventus with a 3-4 score in a very dramatic confrontation of the second round, having won back after 0-3 in the course of the match. And the Neapolitans managed to raise their mood in the Champions League match - Napoli managed to beat Liverpool at home (2-0), which did not let the Italian grandee into the playoffs in the last season. And in the last round, Napoli beat Lecce away (4-1). In fact, nothing has changed in the style of Napoli’s game with the change of coaches - the Neapolitans, as before, are the most scoring team in the league. Napoli managed to score 13 times in the current championship, and Roma and Sassuolo are among the closest pursuers in this indicator, but they have only 10 goals each. The hosts don’t have any problems if the opponent is an open team, unable to concentrate on defensive actions for a long time. Due to the fast performers ahead (Mertens, Insigne), Napoli will repeatedly catch the opponent in counterattacks because Cagliari is far from reliable in defense...

Cagliari faltered at the start of the championship. The Sardinians lost to Brescia (0-1) and Inter (1-2) in the first two matches, but then things went much better - Cagliari won two last matches. The team managed to beat Parma and Genoa with the same 3-1 v. However, Cagliari plays against Napoli just awful - the Neapolitans managed to win 7 head-to-head matches in a row, and today's visitors kept a handicap of one and a half of goals only twice. Cagliari plays defensive football rather poorly, so it has no choice but to attack, but Napoli is one of the fastest teams in the league, so the Islanders will have enough problems. There is no doubt about that.
It seems to me that it is worth putting on the hosts of the field. Napoli uses its chances perfectly; Cagliari will provide them in sufficient quantities. Neapolitans will surely not want to give up a place at the top of the standings. I’ll bet that the Blue-Whites can win confidently – the victory of Napoli with a -1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with -1.5 handicap
