Cagliari vs Napoli in Serie A: Head to Head Statistics, LIVE Streaming Link, teams stats up, results, Date, Time, Watch Live
Having stalled at the end of 2020, Napoli travels to out-of-form Cagliari on Sunday looking for all three points to keep them in touch with Serie A’s top four.
Their Sardinian hosts have plummeted down the standings after failing to win in the league since early November, while Gennaro Gattuso‘s visitors are now nine points off top spot following three games without a victory.
The short-lived Christmas break gave a pause to Napoli, as their Serie A fortunes took something of a nosedive in the final weeks of the year, though they did seal Europa League progress from a testing group.
Successive defeats against close rivals Inter and Lazio were followed by a disappointing home draw with Torino, in which Lorenzo Insigne bailed the Partenopei out of trouble by virtue of his fifth goal of the campaign.
After their disastrous close to the calendar year, Cagliari currently occupies 15th place in the league – now only four ahead of Genoa in the relegation zone.
Eusebio Di Francesco‘s team set out with lofty aims and playing a carefree form of the beautiful game, but things turned sour in late autumn as their form fell off a cliff.
