Cagliari will be desperate for home advantage to count as they take on a confident Napoli side in the 2024-25 Serie A campaign. This match #4 will be played at the Sardegna Arena on Sunday, with our prediction favoring the teams scoring goals.

The home team went into the international break in 17th place with two points, while the visitors are sixth with six points. Cagliari have two draws and a loss in this campaign so far and are yet to win a match. They had the best opportunity in their last match before the international break when Lecce were down to ten men before the break. Yet, they went on to lose that match 1-0, which followed the 0-0 draw against Roma and 1-1 against Coma in the first two matchdays.

Despite those struggles, Cagliari have been very strong at this venue in recent times. They are unbeaten in three competitive home matches this season, with one win and two draws. Napoli could only draw 1-1 at this venue against Cagliari, which was also the score line in three of the five overall Serie A games between these sides.

The visitors are sitting just outside the top six in this campaign, and it’s too early to be gung-ho, but Antonio Conte may have turned a corner. That was seen in the 3-0 and 2-1 wins over Bologna and Parma going into the international break. Those results made up for the 3-0 loss on matchday one against Verona, and the visitors are likely to go all out to keep their momentum intact.
