Serie A: Cagliari vs Napoli
At 2:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 22, 2022, the 26th round of the Serie A, Cagliari will host Napoli at home. Cagliari can be in Serie A for many years, mainly due to the team's ability to grab points at home, and this season its home record has declined significantly, which has also led to the team has been hovering in the relegation zone, after 25 rounds of league, has achieved 4 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses, ranking 17th in the league with 21 points, 1 point gap from Venice in front of him, if you can grab points in time or have the opportunity to return to the relegation zone. It is worth noting that Cagliari's current squad is not in order, and the injury list has reached 8 people, including the main midfielders Marco Rogge and Nandez.
Cagliari's form has picked up, and he has remained unbeaten in three consecutive rounds, especially against the powerful Atalanta and Purple Lily Fiorentina, the team can tear off a piece of meat, and the overall performance is still remarkable. The team played Empoli away from home in the last round of the league, with 54% possession, 5 shots on target in 17 shots, and in the case of falling behind, with the goal of striker Pavoretti, finally shook hands with the opponent 1-1, continuing the team's unbeaten record.
Napoli has performed very well this season, once occupied the top position in the league at the beginning of the season, with the deepening of the schedule, was overtaken by the "Milan Doubles", after 25 rounds of league, ranked 3rd in the league with 53 points, but fortunately, in the case of one round of less matches, there is a 3-point gap with the current top of the list, and the goal difference occupies a certain advantage, if this game can grab 3 points, the team will re-climb to the top, there is no doubt in terms of war intentions.
Napoli has recently fought on multiple fronts, since the beginning of this year, the team has been 8 consecutive games to maintain no comparison, and even in the recent past, even against the Nerazzurri Inter Milan and La Liga giants Barca, the team can remain unbeaten, which shows that it still has a certain ability to compete for the title. It is also worth noting that in the last Europa League match, the team manager continued to use substitutions in the second half to replace insigne and other main players, which shows that its strategic focus is not completely focused on European competition, and the league is probably the most concerned field for the team.
In terms of past encounters between the two teams, Cagliari has played napoli in the last 10 times, achieving a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 8 defeats, the past is clearly at a disadvantage, and the first leg of this season was also kept a 2-0 clean sheet by the opponent. In terms of recent conditions, Cagliari has recently recovered in form, grabbing points in three consecutive games, but the overall strength of the team is still a certain gap with the opponent; Napoli is currently in a critical period of championship competition, and I believe that the team will not give up the opportunity to reach the top. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, it has also given obvious support to the away team, and it is not difficult for Napoli to score all 3 points in this battle.
