Cagliari vs Napoli
2016/17 Italian Serie A.
Date: Sunday, 12 December 2016
Kick-Off: 11:30 UK,
Venue: Stadio Stadio Sant’Elia (Cagliari).
Napoli will look to take advantage of Cagliari’s dodgy backline as the Partenopei travel to take on the Sardinian side on Sunday afternoon.
After a rough past few rounds, Napoli appear to be slowly getting back on track. They crushed Inter 3-0 to earn a much needed win, and thanks to both Lazio and Atalanta losing, have now moved up into fourth spot. In addition, they successfully saw off Portuguese outfit Benfica to clinch top spot in their Champions League quartet, and now will be eagerly awaiting their next opponent in Monday’s round of 16 draw.
Are they out of the Scudetto race, though? It’s still tough to tell. Currently, they find themselves a whopping eight points behind Juventus heading into this round. A lot can happen between now and May. Surely, they will be focusing first on trying to close the gap between themselves and AC Milan and Roma, both of whom are four points ahead and occupy the last two Champions League berths.
Meanwhile, Cagliari will be kicking themselves after failing to pick up all three points against Pescara. Unfortunately, their leaky defense cost them two points in that game. The Rossoblu certainly have no problems with scoring, but they certainly have a huge problem with keeping clean sheets. In that match, veteran – and nomadic – striker Marco Borriello put them ahead midway in the first half.
Yet, their poor defense cost them yet again as Pescara snatched a late goal – and a point. Cagliari are still relatively comfortably afloat but fans definitely will be concerned with the team’s tendency to drop points here and there due to an inability to shut opponents out.
