Cagliari - Napoli predictions

Cagliari are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Serie A, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.35, it’s not very likely to happen.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Napoli have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

It’s fair to say Cagliari demonstrated their character in the last Serie A clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Udinese).

Last round was rather disappointing for Napoli, who were favourites in a home game against Genoa. Both halves of the game ended in draws, prompting some to raise questions about their Napoli’s ability to press the advantage. In the end, a 1:1 draw was nothing to be proud about.

Cagliari’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 8 goals throughout their latest three Serie A matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Napoli’s away matches are consistently slow in terms of goals scored. The previous two matches, for instance, featured less than 2.

Cagliari will need another 1 point to get out of the relegation zone – and this round is not a particularly good opportunity to win them. They are quickly running out of time, though, and will need to move quickly if they wish to stay in the Serie A.

The bookies see the away team as more likely to win this game, partly based on an earlier match played between them and Cagliari. Playing as the home tea, Napoli secured a solid victory and 3 more points for the tally. The conditions are somewhat less favourable this time, but they could still be able to come out on top.

Cagliari’s chances of winning are more difficult to gauge than usual. Though they would be underdogs anyhow, Marco Mancosu, Gaetano Oristanio, Eldor Shomurodov have been injured on top of that. Needless to say, they have a difficult match to look forward to.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

This match is a bit tough to find value in, so you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. An HT/FT Draw/Away bet at odds of 1.87 is not exactly probable, but it’s clearly the best offer in terms of value.
