Game: CAGLIARI vs NAPOLI
Type: ITALIAN SERIE A
Date: 19 April, 2009
PREVIEW
Cagliari's 1-2 loss to Fiorentina last week has seen them being taken over by Palermo for the 7th position in the league standings. Nevertheless, Cagliari still has the 2nd lowest amount of goals conceded at home after AC Milan - which says a lot in terms of their home prowess. Most of their wins have been by a goal difference as they score an average of 1.12 goals only while conceding a meagre 0.53 goals in return.
Napoli surprised many at the start of the season when they went on a 8 match unbeaten run and fighting for the top 3 spots in the league early on. Nevertheless, a combination of poor performances and mistakes at the back during the turn of the year has seen them slipping down the pecking order. The visitors have not won away from home in their last 11 tries.
