In that match, SSC Napoli had 72% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Parma got 6 shots at goal with 4 on target.
Their most recent results show that things are going according to plan in the SSC Napoli rearguard. SSC Napoli have given the opposition little, resulting in the number of goals that have gone in at their end over the course of their last six matches standing at 2. That kind of trend might not follow through into this game, of course.
Their past results show that SSC Napoli:
- haven't lost in the league to Cagliari in their previous 8 games. A long run without a loss.
- are undefeated in their previous 10 league matches at home. They have been so resilient here.

In all, 15 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 11 of them from Partenopei and 4 created by Casteddu / Rossoblu. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.5.

The match was refereed by Federico La Penna.
📰 Team News: Napoli
Noah Okafor (Muscle fatigue), Alessandro Buongiorno (Adductor injury), Stanislav Lobotka (Ankle sprain) and Juan Jesus (Torn thigh muscle) are not available for Napoli boss Antonio Conte.
It’s our opinion that Partenopei could use a 4-2-3-1 system for this one with Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Mathias Olivera, Leonardo Spinazzola, A. Zambo Anguissa, Billy Gilmour, Matteo Politano, Giacomo Raspadori, Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku.
📰 Team News: Cagliari
There’s a good chance that Casteddu / Rossoblu appear most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 lineup, giving starts to Alen Sherri, Gabriele Zappa, Sebastiano Luperto, Yerry Mina, Mattia Felici, Alessandro Deiola, Michel Ndary Adopo, Antoine Makoumbou, Tommaso Augello, Nicolas Viola and Roberto Piccoli.
🧠 Prediction
It looks to us that SSC Napoli should stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.
However, Cagliari are also probably going to find it difficult to make a breakthrough but we can see them converting at least once.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 victory for SSC Napoli at the end of the match.
