Napoli welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday for their next round in the Coppa Italia. Given Napoli’s dominance in recent head-to-heads and their strong form this season - currently joint-top of the Serie A standings with AC Milan - they head into this match as heavy favourites. Still, cup ties can be unpredictable - and if Cagliari approach the game with tactical discipline and opportunism on the break, they may test Napoli’s defence more than many expect.

Serie A
Historically, Napoli have held a clear advantage over Cagliari. Across their last 31 meetings, Napoli have won 20 times, Cagliari just twice, with 9 draws. More recently, the trend has remained firmly in Napoli’s favour: they are unbeaten in 10 consecutive head-to-head encounters since 2019, winning 7 of those 10 matches. The last time Cagliari defeated Napoli was back in September 2019.
Napoli team overview
Napoli enter this match in solid form. Their recent performances - including a 2-0 Champions League victory and a strong Serie A showing against AS Roma (a 1-0 win) - highlight a side capable of shifting gears effectively between competitions. Although they experienced a brief stumble in early November, when they went several games without a victory, Antonio Conte's side have responded impressively, winning three consecutive matches across all competitions. As reigning Scudetto holders, Napoli entered the Coppa Italia at a later stage and will be eager to replicate the success of their 2019/20 campaign, when they lifted the trophy after defeating Juventus 4-2 on penalties in the final.

Cagliari team overview
Cagliari arrive in Naples on the back of a dismal Serie A run. Their recent domestic form has been defined by a mix of draws and defeats: in their last nine league matches, they have recorded no wins, losing five and drawing four. After briefly steadying themselves with consecutive draws against Como (0-0) and Genoa (3-3), Cagliari slipped back into poor form, suffering their sixth loss of the league season last weekend - a 2-1 defeat away to Juventus.
In the Coppa Italia, however, the story has been more positive. Starting from the Round of 64, Cagliari were made to work hard in their opener against Entella, progressing only after a 5-4 win on penalties. Their performance in the Round of 32 was far more convincing, as they put four past Frosinone in an impressive 4-1 victory.

Prediction
Given the head-to-head history, and recent form, this match appears likely to tilt in favour of Napoli - but it is unlikely to be a runaway victory. Their home advantage and far superior league form should intimidate Cagliari, who have failed to win any of their last ten Serie A matches. However, it is highly likely to be a low-scoring encounter, given that Cagliari did not lose any of those games by more than one goal.
Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals Total.
Three reasons we expect Under 2.5 Goals Total
- Under 2.5 goals have landed in four of Napoli’s last five matches across all competitions.
- Over 2.5 goals have occurred in only 50% of Cagliari’s matches this season.
- There have been under 2.5 goals in three of the last four h2h meetings between Napoli and Cagliari.
