&lt;p&gt;Crucial points are at stake in Cagliari as they host Napoli. Claudio Ranieri`s men, after last week`s draw in Udine, which ended a run of four consecutive defeats, want to continue climbing the table and aim for a victory that has eluded them for over a month (2-1 against Bologna on January 14th) to try to escape from the relegation zone, especially given the matches against Empoli and Salernitana.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, Napoli also need points to stay in the race for fourth place. After today`s match, the Partenopei will make up for the postponed match in matchday 21 against Sassuolo due to commitments in the EA SPORTS FC Supercup and will then host Juventus. Three important matches for new coach Francesco Calzona that could say a lot about the future objective of the Italian Champions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have 29 points less compared to the same point last season: no reigning champion has ever had such a negative difference after 24 games played compared to the previous season in the history of Serie A – the record belonged to Milan 1957/58 (-26 points, counting 3 points for a win throughout).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cagliari have gained 11 points from losing positions, only Bologna and Napoli (both 12) have done better in this championship; in particular, both the Sardinians and the Partenopei are coming off a 1-1 draw achieved in a comeback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Francesco Calzona is the third coach to lead Napoli in the 2023/24 season; they have not had three different coaches in the same season since 1997/98, when Bortolo Mutti, Carlo Mazzone, Giovanni Galeone, and Vincenzo Montefusco took turns on the bench. Moreover, it has never happened that three different coaches sat on the bench of the reigning Serie A champions in a single season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cagliari have won only one of their last 25 matches against Napoli in Serie A (D7 L17); moreover, in none of the last 14 encounters have the Sardinians scored more than one goal against the Partenopei, tallying seven goals, none of which came in the first half.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Napoli have won six of their last seven away games against Cagliari in Serie A (D1), averaging 2.9 goals per match in that stretch, although the only draw during this period came in the most recent match: 1-1 on February 21, 2022.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gianluca Gaetano – owned by Napoli, on loan at Cagliari – is the only Cagliari player to score since his debut in Serie A for the Rossoblù (two goals in three appearances), in addition to being the one who has created the most chances for his teammates (five), completed the most dribblings (five), and won the most possessions in the final third (four) in that period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among the teams faced more than once in Serie A, Cagliari is one of the two (along with Sampdoria) against whom Victor Osimhen has scored in each of his encounters: four goals in four appearances against the Sardinian team, which is also the last team against which he found the net in the league, last December 16.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Di Lorenzo (Napoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Pavoletti e Dossena (Cagliari); Mazzocchi, Rrahmani e Ngonge (Napoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pairetto (Rossi-Mastrodonato), IV: Gualtieri, VAR: Marini, AVAR: Di Paolo&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A TIM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli-Cagliari (Sunday 3 March, 15:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sassuolo-Napoli (Wednesday 28 February, 18.00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&lt;/p&gt;

Crucial points are at stake in Cagliari as they host Napoli. Claudio Ranieri`s men, after last week`s draw in Udine, which ended a run of four consecutive defeats, want to continue climbing the table and aim for a victory that has eluded them for over a month (2-1 against Bologna on January 14th) to try to escape from the relegation zone, especially given the matches against Empoli and Salernitana.However, Napoli also need points to stay in the race for fourth place. After today`s match, the Partenopei will make up for the postponed match in matchday 21 against Sassuolo due to commitments in the EA SPORTS FC Supercup and will then host Juventus. Three important matches for new coach Francesco Calzona that could say a lot about the future objective of the Italian Champions. DID YOU KNOW?Napoli have 29 points less compared to the same point last season: no reigning champion has ever had such a negative difference after 24 games played compared to the previous season in the history of Serie A – the record belonged to Milan 1957/58 (-26 points, counting 3 points for a win throughout).Cagliari have gained 11 points from losing positions, only Bologna and Napoli (both 12) have done better in this championship; in particular, both the Sardinians and the Partenopei are coming off a 1-1 draw achieved in a comeback.Francesco Calzona is the third coach to lead Napoli in the 2023/24 season; they have not had three different coaches in the same season since 1997/98, when Bortolo Mutti, Carlo Mazzone, Giovanni Galeone, and Vincenzo Montefusco took turns on the bench. Moreover, it has never happened that three different coaches sat on the bench of the reigning Serie A champions in a single season. HEAD-TO-HEADCagliari have won only one of their last 25 matches against Napoli in Serie A (D7 L17); moreover, in none of the last 14 encounters have the Sardinians scored more than one goal against the Partenopei, tallying seven goals, none of which came in the first half.Napoli have won six of their last seven away games against Cagliari in Serie A (D1), averaging 2.9 goals per match in that stretch, although the only draw during this period came in the most recent match: 1-1 on February 21, 2022. PLAYERSGianluca Gaetano – owned by Napoli, on loan at Cagliari – is the only Cagliari player to score since his debut in Serie A for the Rossoblù (two goals in three appearances), in addition to being the one who has created the most chances for his teammates (five), completed the most dribblings (five), and won the most possessions in the final third (four) in that period.Among the teams faced more than once in Serie A, Cagliari is one of the two (along with Sampdoria) against whom Victor Osimhen has scored in each of his encounters: four goals in four appearances against the Sardinian team, which is also the last team against which he found the net in the league, last December 16.
