Napoli vs Cagliari

Almost exactly 100 years after the club was founded (1926), Napoli has won the fourth Scudetto in their history, after those won in 1986/87, 1989/90 and 2022/23 seasons.

With this title, Napoli become the team from central-southern Italy with the most Scudetti won (four).

Napoli became the first team in the history of the 20-team Serie A to win the Scudetto after finishing 10th the previous season, bettering the record set by Antonio Conte's Juventus in 2011/12, who finished 7th in the previous tournament.

After their win in the reverse fixture (4-0 in September), Napoli could win both of their matches against Cagliari in a Serie A season for the first time since 2018/19 under Carlo Ancelotti.

The last three matches between Napoli and Cagliari played in the second half of the season in Serie A have all ended in a 1-1 draw including the most recent one in February 2024, with an equalising goal scored by Zito Luvumbo in the 96th minute after Victor Osimhen opened the scoring in the 65th minute.

Napoli have won nine of their last 12 home matches against Cagliari in Serie A (D2 L1), scoring 30 goals in that period (2.5 on average per match) – six of those have been played since matchday 30 (W5 D1 for the Partenopei).

Napoli could win the Scudetto for the fourth time in their history after 1986/87, 1989/90 and 2022/23; so far no team from central-southern Italy has ever won the Scudetto more than three times (Roma also three).

Napoli could become the first team in the history of a 20-team Serie A to win the Scudetto after a 10th place finish in the previous season, beating the record of Juventus under Antonio Conte in 2011/12, 7th in the previous campaign.
