Cagliari vs Napoli preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

The Serie A season enters its final eight games of the season with plenty left to play for, especially when it comes to playing for places in Europe next season. 

DAZN is showing 380 live games across the 2025-26 campaign, and Matchday 30 sees the round kick-off with the reigning champions' visit to Cagliari. 

Antonio Conte's men may be out of the title hunt, but before they relinquish their Serie A crown, they have their sights on making sure they finish in the Champions League places. 

With players returning from injury, Napoli are finally showing the form of champions, with three wins on the spin, and have their eye on catching Milan and stealing second place in the final few weeks of the season. 

Tonight, they travel to Cagliari, who, despite some notable scalps this season, have largely been disappointing, and are currently on a run of just two points from the last 18 available - including last week's defeat to struggling Pisa. 

They host Napoli, having lost 20 and won just one in the last 29 meetings between the two sides, and there's no sign of that run changing this term either.
