Cagliari faces daunting statistics against Napoli with Ranieri’s arrival looming

The impending match between Cagliari and Napoli – to be held at the Maradona Stadium in Campania – promises to be more than an ordinary contest. With a history steeped in critical incidents, numerous common ex-players and a simmering rivalry, this fixture is expected to bring the heat. Kick off is set for 18:00 under the steerage of Matteo Marcenaro from Genoa.

According to Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, one key factor looms for the game scheduled for the 16th week of the 2023-2024 Serie A Championship: The approach to the challenge will be everything. Cagliari’s manager Claudio Ranieri appears to be aware of this. Even more concerning for his team is a troubling statistic.

Cagliari, in the first fifteen matches, has fallen behind a shocking ten times. This is a particularly disquieting figure that places a demand on the Rossoblu to exercise extreme caution. The team has to concentrate meticulously on the approach to the match against Walter Mazzarri’s side.
