Napoli vs Cagliari Prediction & Tips
Napoli were crowned Italian champions on 23 May during the 38th and final matchday of Serie A against Cagliari (2-0). Two of its iconic players, McTominay and Lukaku, put Naples at the top of Italian football after a fierce battle with Inter Milan. These two clubs will meet at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on the second day of the 2025-2026 Serie A season. The Neapolitans will be looking to confirm their current good form and winning streak, having won their last four matches against Girona (3-2), Sorrento (4-0) and Olympiakos (2-1) in pre-season friendlies, then Sassuolo (0-2) in their first official match of the season. McTominay was once again on the scoresheet, as was Kevin De Bruyne, who scored his first goal in the Italian league.
Cagliari, so disappointing last season (20 defeats in 38 games), started the new campaign with a good draw against Fiorentina (1-1) at the Unipol Domus last weekend. The Sardinian club was extremely fortunate to equalise in added time (90+4) with a goal from defender Sebastiano Luperto
