SSC Napoli – renewed attack on the championship lead
 
SSC Napoli has had an exceptionally good season so far and is still fighting for the Scudetto. After an interim period of weakness, they recovered and are currently in 3rd place in the table. They are just 2 points behind the lead in the table and in 4th place they already have a lead of 7 points. The team is outstanding on the defensive this year, because no other team has conceded as few goals as Napoli. An away win against Cagliari is definitely planned and must also be won in the fight for the championship.

SSC Napoli is currently in a three-way battle for the championship with the two clubs from Milan, i.e. Milan and Inter. The pursuers just lurk, but could not break through the phalanx of these three clubs. The big top favorites for the Scudetto are not the Partenopei with the bookmakers, but none of the teams in the top trio plays that consistently.

So the atmosphere in the team and the form of the team are very good. Napoli was only once worse than fourth place on the second matchday, mostly the team belonged to the top 3 in Serie A. That should continue to be the case. A win against Cagliari, a clearly inferior opponent, is of course a prerequisite.

This can also be confirmed with numbers, as Napoli have scored three or more goals in six league games. Nevertheless, a more defensive, controlled approach could be observed in the last few weeks, because the games are currently very tightly timed and one or the other player is absent. Therefore, before the game between Cagliari and Napoli, our value tip is that both teams do not score.
