In terms of squad strength, Napoli are still better than Cagliari but indeed with the current performance and the pressure given to the new coach, I can't really predict that Napoli will win 3 points in this match.
No doubt that Napoli has a stronger squad. I think Cagliari is just a small team in Serie A. Napoli shouldn't have a problem to beat Cagliari although they have a new coach. Mazzarri must know well how to deal with a team like Cagliari. It should be an easy match for him, I think we can predict it easily when it is against small team.
Things like this will be very easy if the attack line, especially the problem of goal productivity from Napoli, can run well, it's just that seeing from the current situation actually I think there will be a lot of doubts, especially for the problem of their goal productivity.
Until now we know that only Osimhen has always been the backbone of Napoli and when he experienced the need for other players sometimes could not provide something that could be an option to score goals that made this a little complicated.
The expectation of course is 3 points especially since this is an easy one for Napoli.
They are still very weak in terms of consistency and that still cannot be fully corrected by Mazzari, who is a new coach, especially the 2 big matches that he immediately encountered when he became the new coach, will slightly raise the level of pessimism.
We can't easily conclude it because Napoli faced strong teams lately. I think Napoli must play more consistently if they play against average teams in Serie A. It become very difficult for Mazzarri because he must face 2 strongest teams in Serie A in the last 2 matches (Inter Milan and Juventus). I think we don't need to feel worried because they are defeated by 2 strongest teams.
Some of their internal issues are still very troubling which results in this making the stability especially in performance issues very pronounced. Losing their coach has made them like chickens who have lost their mother because their direction is uncertain and at the moment I think they are in transition and with this situation then I still feel that if we talk about overall performance then this season is like there is no hope for them if the initial goal is to defend the Scudetto.
