These two have precious little to play for now, as the Partenopei are guaranteed a Champions League spot and the Grifone have secured their Serie A safety.

The atmosphere reflects that, with a reported 11,000 people in the stands, a new low in the Aurelio De Laurentiis era.

Nikola Maksimovic, Vlad Chiriches and Amadou Diawara are injured, but Albiol returns to the starting XI for the first time since his injury three months ago.

Insigne also comes back following a spell on the sidelines and it remains to be seen if he’ll again be jeered by the ultras, but he partners Dries Mertens rather than Arkadiusz Milik.

Amin Younes and Simone Verdi are given the chance to shine on the wings.

Cagliari are without Paolo Faragò, but all eyes will be on Barella, who has been linked with a big summer move, including interest from Napoli.

Alberto Cerri is given a rare start with Leonardo Pavoletti, resting Joao Pedro and Luca Pellegrini.

Napoli: Meret; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Verdi, Allan, Zielinski, Younes; Mertens, Insigne

Cagliari: Cragno; Cacciatore, Romagna, Ceppitelli, Lykogiannis; Ionita, Cigarini, Deiola; Barella; Cerri, Pavoletti
