- Competition: Serie A
- Date: Friday, 23rd May 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)
Friday will be the most important day for Napoli this season. They are one point above Inter Milan and with a win in the final round, Antonio Conte's team will win their fourth title in history. Before the season, most pundits didn't see the possibility of Napoli finishing in front of Inter, but consistency brought them just one step away from a big success.
Napoli had a chance to finish the job earlier, but they won only two points in the last two matches. Last weekend, Conte's team played 0-0 on the road against Parma. The guests had the ball possession on their side, but they created xG of only 0.38, so they couldn't find a way to the net and victory.
Cagliari started as one of the lowest-budget teams in Serie A, but they found a way to secure relegation and enter the final round stress-free. Cagliari haven't played great lately, with two defeats in the last three matches. However, they won 3-0 at home against Venezia in the previous round. The home side showed significantly more throughout the game and recorded an important victory.
Napoli vs Cagliari pick: Napoli to win and cover the AH -2 spread
Napoli are great at home lately, as they have won four of the previous five matches at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. We should expect a convincing Napoli win on Friday night and a big celebration at the end of the game.
