Current streaks

Recent form

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team struggling to find consistency in their results. Despite a promising start in friendlies and the Coppa Italia, their Serie A campaign has been underwhelming, leaving them in 17th position with just 2 points from 3 games. The team's defensive record is relatively solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping 2 clean sheets in their last 6 matches. However, their offensive output has been inconsistent, with a notable 3-1 victory against Carrarese in the Coppa Italia being their highest-scoring game recently. The team's tendency towards low-scoring affairs is evident, with 67% of their last 6 games featuring under 2.5 goals. Cagliari's inability to secure a win in their first three Serie A matches is concerning, and they'll need to improve their attacking prowess to climb up the league table.

Napoli

Napoli's recent form shows a mixed performance with some positive signs. They are currently in 6th position in Serie A with 6 points from 3 games, indicating a solid start to the league campaign. The team has demonstrated resilience by bouncing back from two consecutive losses (against Hellas Verona and Girona) with two impressive wins, including a 3-0 victory over Bologna. Defensively, Napoli has been strong, keeping 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches. However, their goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with 6 goals scored across these games, half of which came in a single match. The team's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams scored in only 17% of these matches, suggesting Napoli's games have often been one-sided affairs, either in their favor or against them.

Recent home/away form

Cagliari

Cagliari's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with no clear winning or losing streaks evident. Their last six home games have resulted in two wins, two draws, and two losses, showing a lack of consistency. The team has managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, both coming in their most recent Serie A matches. Interestingly, their home games tend to be relatively high-scoring affairs, with an average of 2.83 total goals per game. The match against Fiorentina stands out as particularly goal-rich, ending in a 3-2 defeat for Cagliari. While their defensive record is somewhat concerning, conceding 1.33 goals per game, they've maintained a positive goal difference thanks to scoring 1.5 goals per game on average. Their ability to find the net is further emphasized by the fact that both teams scored in 67% of these matches, suggesting exciting encounters for spectators.

Napoli

Napoli's recent away form shows a concerning trend, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last five away matches in Serie A. Their last away win came against Monza in a high-scoring 4-2 encounter, which stands out as their most prolific offensive performance on the road. Defensively, Napoli has struggled, conceding in all six recent away games and failing to keep a clean sheet. The team's goal difference is negative, indicating they've been outscored by their opponents overall. With an average of 3 total goals per game and both teams scoring in 67% of the matches, Napoli's away fixtures have been relatively entertaining for neutral spectators. However, their recent 3-0 loss to Hellas Verona highlights a worrying dip in form, especially considering their 6th position in the league and the fact that they've only managed to score 8 goals while conceding 10 in these six away games.
