Preview: Cagliari Calcio vs. Napoli

Sports Mole's preview of Calgiari's home clash against Napoli.

Serie A's third-placed side Napoli travel to mid-table Cagliari on Saturday evening looking to continue their recent run of form.

Rafael Benitez's side have taken seven points from nine in Serie A and responded to their Champions League elimination with an emphatic 4-2 win over Inter Milan last weekend.

Cagliari themselves are unbeaten in five league games, with two wins and three draws including the creditable 0-0 result away to Parma in their last game.

For the hosts, Daniele Conti returns from suspension and should start but Victor Ibarbo and goalkeeper Michael Agazzi remain out injured.

Benitez could welcome back Goran Pandev, Valon Behrami and Pepe Reina from injury but he could be tempted to leave things unchanged after their impressive win against Inter.
