Following up a pair of heavyweight draws at home and abroad, Scudetto hopefuls Napoli visit the more relaxed surrounds of Sardinia, as they take on improving Cagliari on Monday.
Former Partenopei coach Walter Mazzarri has helped the home side escape the relegation zone in recent weeks, while the visitors are in the thick of the title race after a run of four wins from their last six Serie A matches.
We say: Cagliari 0-2 Napoli
With one eye on the Europa League glamour tie taking place later in the week, Napoli have every right to be distracted, but three points are essential if they are to continue to challenge for the domestic title.
Some fresh faces in the starting XI and burgeoning confidence levels after recent results will help them get the job done, though, as they bring Cagliari's unbeaten streak to an end.

Seeking to surpass their hosts in the Serie A standings, Spezia travel to Bologna on Monday evening now just one place and two points behind them.
However, they have yet to beat the Rossoblu since reaching the top flight in 2020 and have taken only a point from their last two games.
We say: Bologna 1-0 Spezia
It may be a tense watch at Dall'Ara, but Bologna can grind out a narrow margin of victory against a Spezia side whose brief spell of superb form seems to be dissipating.
