Previous meetings between Cagliari and Napoli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There have been 44 competitive meetings between the two sides in Sardinia. The head-to-head record stands at nine Cagliari wins, the last of which came in the 2008\/09 season, 22 draws, the last of which came in the 2023\/24 season, and 13 Napoli wins, the last of which came in the 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sardinians have not beaten Napoli at home since 19 April 2009, in a 2-0 victory in which Jeda and Andrea Lazzari got on the scoresheet. Since then there have been 14 matches, with a record of five draws and nine Napoli wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the last 11 matches in Sardinia, Napoli have always got on the scoresheet, racking up a total of 27 goals. The last time they didn\u2019t find the net against Cagliari away from home was back in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Match analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Cagliari are on a six-game winless run. Their last victory was on 31 January, when they beat Verona 4-0 at home. Since then they have drawn twice and lost four times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the Unipol Domus this weekend is we will be watching the team to have been awarded the fewest number of penalties in Serie A (one, Cagliari) and the team that have conceded the most (Napoli, eight).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No team in this 2025\/26 Serie A season has received as many yellow cards as Cagliari \u2013 66.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Napoli go into this game on the back of three consecutive victories, all with the same scoreline – 2-1 against Verona away, followed similar victories over Torino and Lecce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Napoli have gone 11 games without keeping a clean sheet in all competitions, conceding 18 goals along the way. Their last shutout was on 17 January, in a 1-0 home win over Sassuolo. However, they have also gone many games consistently scoring \u2013 nine matches in a row. The last time the Neapolitans didn\u2019t find the net was in a 3-0 away defeat to Juventus on 25 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Napoli have scored nine goals in the first 15 minutes of matches this season, equalling Como and Inter\u2019s record in Serie A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Azzurri have had 19 different goalscorers this season, more than any other team in Serie A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Napoli have the highest shot-to-goal conversion percentage (12.4%) in Serie A this season: followed by Inter (11.9%), Sassuolo (11.6%), Como (11.5%) and Genoa (11.3%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will be the third meeting between coaches Fabio Pisacane and Antonio Conte. In the two previous meetings – both this season in the league and the Coppa Italia \u2013 Napoli won once and drew once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conte has won Serie A five times as coach, and for two of these title triumphs the league was decided in matches against Cagliari. The first was in 2011\/12, when Juventus beat Cagliari 2-0, and the second was in the 2024\/25 season, when Napoli overcame Cagliari 2-0 at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
