Napoli - Cagliari: The last step towards the championship in Serie A

Naples, May 23, 2025 – In the final, 38th round of the 2024/25 Serie A season, Napoli will host Cagliari at their home stadium, the Diego Armando Maradona. This match is of historical significance for Napoli, as the team is one step away from winning their fourth championship title under the leadership of Antonio Conte. Currently, Napoli leads the league table with 79 points and is in a tight race for the championship with Inter, who trails by one point.

Current Form of the Teams
Napoli has shown incredible consistency throughout the season and is undefeated in their last 11 matches. The team has kept a clean sheet in 44% of their 18 home matches, demonstrating their strength in defense. Romelu Lukaku stands out as the team's top scorer with 13 goals, and his goals account for 23% of Napoli's total goals in Serie A. However, the last two draws (0:0 with Parma) have prevented the team from securing the championship early. In this match, where Antonio Conte will be absent due to suspension, the team will try to adhere to his tactical instructions.

Cagliari, on the other hand, has had a mediocre season and is currently in 14th place with 36 points. Although the team secured their stay in the league by defeating Venezia 3-0 last week, they struggle in away games. Cagliari's average of goals scored away is only 0.89, and they have failed to score in 39% of their away matches this season. Although Luvumbo and Piccoli have stood out in the team's attack, their chances against Napoli's defense seem slim.

Historical Confrontations
Napoli is undefeated in their last 8 matches against Cagliari (5 wins, 3 draws). The last match between the teams ended with a 4-0 victory for Napoli. Overall, Napoli has never trailed in the first half in their last 19 home matches against Cagliari, which shows their habit of starting the game quickly. Statistics show that Napoli is usually the dominant side in home matches, especially against mid-level opponents like Cagliari.

Match Prediction
Napoli will be fully motivated in this match to secure the championship. Cagliari's securing their stay in the league may allow them to enter this game with less pressure, but this reduces their chances against Napoli, given their poor away performance. Experts predict that Napoli will win, as the team stands out with both their home advantage and the form of experienced striker like Lukaku. At the same time, Cagliari's chances of scoring are low because their attacking potential is not strong enough against Napoli's defense.
