CAGLIARI v NAPOLI PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Cagliari have made a solid start to the season and are currently in a mid-table position from where they will be not challenging for a European place or struggling against relegation. They have the same number of points in home and away matches and overall have been beaten five times. Napoli have lost two of their last five matches but are still fourth in the latest standings. They are seven places and 11 points ahead of their opponents at the weekend. Matches involving these sides have produced 65 goals this season to date at an average of exactly 2.5 goals per game. The average is marginally greater when only respective home and away matches are assessed.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Edinson Cavani has scored eight goals this season and is a key player for Napoli. He scored in the recent win away to Genoa, a match in which Naples had 56% of possession. However, as the visiting side they are unlikely to have a greater share of the ball against Cagliari so will need to be efficient in turning limited possession into goal scoring opportunities. Cagliari’s decent run of form came to an end at Fiorentina, a match they lost by three clear goals after seeing just 44% of the ball. That was followed by a goalless draw at home against Catania, with the side failing to score despite having 56% of the ball. Only Marco Sua has scored four goals for Cagliari this season.

Cagliari have failed to win any of their last three matches following a run of three consecutive victories. Only inter Milan and Juventus have earned more away points than Napoli and that side can enhance their record on the road with another away win.

CAGLIARI - NAPOLI PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Cagliari are a decent enough team with a solid record at home to avoid losing by more than one goal. The relative form of these two sides gives Napoli an edge and that should be confirmed with them winning maximum points. However the supremacy is unlikely to be greater than one goal but they are capable of covering a handicap of one half of one goal. .Beginners not familiar with Asian Handicap can find info here: http://howtobet.net/online-betting-guide/asian-handicap.
