Napoli, under Antonio Conte, is in stellar form, winning their last three games with a 6-1 aggregate score and maintaining an unbeaten home record this year. They prepare to host Cagliari in the Coppa Italia, confident after recent wins against Roma and Atalanta.
Cagliari arrives in crisis, winless in their last nine Serie A matches and with a poor head-to-head record against Napoli, failing to win in their last 10 encounters. Their struggles suggest a routine home victory for Napoli in this midweek fixture.
