Rolando Maran celebrated his Cagliari contract extension and found “extra motivation” against Napoli, as December’s defeat still hurts.
It kicks off at 19.30 UK time (18.30 GMT).
The Sardinians have already secured their mathematical safety and celebrated by tying down the Coach to a new contract until June 2022.
“I was very pleased to receive such a strong show of faith from President Tommaso Giulini and continue the journey we’ve had so far with clear ideas,” said Maran in his Press conference.

“The final four games of the season will help us to consolidate those foundations we want to build on. They will be tough tests and the statistics suggest we’ll have a very difficult time at the Stadio San Paolo, but working for the future means being prepared for games like this.
“It is important not to let our concentration drop, because we end up paying for every mistake. The defeat to Roma is a case in point, as were 2-0 down after seven minutes and then it’s a struggle to get back into it.”
Cagliari gave Napoli huge problems when they met in December, as only a stoppage-time Arkadiusz Milik free kick made the difference.
“The memories of that night must act as extra motivation, because we fought it out with them on every level and were only beaten by a moment of Milik magic.”
Paolo Faragò, Lucas Castro, Maxime Leverbe and Ragnar Klavan are out injured.
Cagliari squad for Napoli: Rafael, Aresti, Cragno; Pellegrini, Cacciatore, Pisacane, Lykogiannis, Ceppitelli, Srna, Romagna; Bradaric, Cigarini, Birsa, Joao Pedro, Oliva, Barella, Padoin, Ionita, Deiola, Despodov; Thereau, Cerri, Pavoletti
