NAP vs CAG Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Napoli can secure a 2nd place finish for the 2nd consecutive season when they play host to Cagliari in Naples. play their last away game of the season at the home of already relegated Huddersfield, at John Smith’s Stadium, on Sunday evening (IST).
Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to end the season on a high before turning his attention for the next season. His team has an easier run-in barring a home game against Inter Milan, so that could be achieved. The second lace is all but wrapped up which shows that the Naples are on the right track.
The Partenopei could have had more out of this season. They had luck deserting them in the Champions League with a tough group and some decisions going against them in the group stage, while a 0-2 loss to AC Milan in the Coppa Italia was a real shocker.
Overall, Naples are in a good place. The head coach will no doubt be looking to end good quality players to his already impressive roster to put Juve under more pressure next season.
Cagliari have made improvement this season. Their points tally is a good measure of the progress as they have already accumulated 1 point more than the last season.
However, the visitors come here with 11 defeats from 17 away games this season. They were beaten 3-0 against AS Roma last weekend, so an away trip against the 2nd place Napoli will be a great concern for Cagliari.
