-----------------------------
Napoli travel to Cagliari as they push to secure a top-four finish in Serie A, with their title defense effectively over. They now focus on staying ahead of rivals chasing Champions League spots, making a fourth consecutive win crucial.

Team Analysis:
Napoli sit third in Serie A but trail far behind Inter Milan, shifting their focus to securing a Champions League place while holding a six-point cushion over Juventus amid strong competition from Milan, Roma, and Como. Despite improved form and recent wins, their inconsistent away record contrasts with a dominant history against struggling Cagliari, who remain at risk near the relegation zone.

Player Situation:
Napoli are dealing with several injuries but could welcome back key players like Juan Jesus and Stanislav Lobotka, while others such as Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne have recently returned to boost the squad. Cagliari, meanwhile, regain Sebastiano Esposito but must adjust their defense due to suspension and injuries, with a few important players still unavailable.

Result Prediction:
Napoli are expected to extend their strong record against Cagliari and secure a fourth straight win amid the hosts’ poor run of form. Such a result could briefly lift them to second place in Serie A while increasing pressure on Cagliari near the bottom.

Predicted Result: Cagliari 0-2 Napoli.
