Napoli enter this decisive clash knowing a win guarantees the Scudetto, and recent form backs them. At home, they’re unbeaten in 10 straight Serie A matches and have scored at least twice in their last five at the Maradona. They also average 1.67 goals per game and concede just 0.72 – the best defensive record in the league. Cagliari, meanwhile, have nothing left to play for and struggle away, with just one win in their last nine road games. In the reverse fixture, Napoli dominated 4-0, and Cagliari have lost their last two visits to Naples. With Lukaku and McTominay in red-hot form, and Conte’s side hungry for glory, a two-goal margin looks achievable. Napoli have covered the -1.5 line in four of their last five home wins. Given Cagliari’s poor away defense (1.44 goals conceded/game), this looks like a solid bet. Napoli should win big and lift the trophy in style.
