"Starting with the hosts, making real history last season as they stormed their way to just a fourth Serie A crown, Napoli are desperate to retain their domestic title this time around. Last seen claiming a heavyweight scalp as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Roma, Antonio Conte's men have enjoyed a real flurry since returning from November's international break."
"As for the visitors, while Cagliari might have eventually clung to their Serie A status last season, the Islanders appear destined for another relegation scrap this time around. Last seen signing off November with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Italian heavyweights Juventus, Fabio Pisacane's side are in the midst of what has become an extended crisis. Including a 2-0 loss away at Lazio last month, the Sardinia-based outfit have failed to win any of their previous nine consecutive Serie A appearances."
Napoli won a fourth Serie A title last season and aim to retain the domestic crown. Napoli have won their last three matches across competitions by an aggregate 6-1, including 1-0 at Roma and 3-1 against Atalanta, and began Champions League action with a 2-0 win over Qarabag. Napoli have suffered only one defeat since October 21 and remain unbeaten at home so far this calendar year. Cagliari narrowly avoided relegation last season but face a prolonged crisis, losing to Juventus and Lazio and going nine Serie A matches without a win since September 23.
