Antonio Conte's men kick-off the season with a fairly comfortable 2-0 win over Sassuolo as they begin the defence of their Serie A crown. 

But what was particularly pleasing for Conte was seeing Scott McTominay continue his Player of the Year form straight into the new campaign and for new signing Kevin De Bruyne to get off the mark on his debut. 

This week, they welcome Cagliari, who are expected to be candidates for a relegation fight this season, but began with a credible 1-1 draw at home to Fiorentina.

Napoli vs Cagliari team news 

Napoli 

Napoli will once again be without injured duo Romelu Lukaku and Miguel Gutiérrez, with Conte sticking with his controlled 4-1-4-1 formation. 

Previous XI: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani, Juan Jesus, Olivera, Lobotka, Politano, Anguissa, De Bruyne, McTominay, Lucca 

Cagliari 

Forward Leonardo Pavoletti is Cagliari’s only notable injury concern as they head to Naples, so it looks like it could be a repeat of the 4-3-1-2 system, which seems to adapt into a 4-3-2-1 at times, with Napoli loanee Michael Folorunsho dropping behind Gennaro Borrelli.

Previous XI: Carpile, Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Obert, Adopo, Prati, Deiola, Esposito, Borrelli, Folorunsho 

Napoli vs Cagliari prediction
