How will Napoli perform in their first five Serie A fixtures

Napoli won the Serie A title last season, which was not a surprise because of who their manager is.

Sometimes, making a managerial appointment can change the destiny of any team, and that is Napoli’s story.

However, the players on their team also deserve credit for their performances and contributions to the team’s success this term.

In Naples, they watched their team become champions of Italy in 2023 and have the pleasure of doing so in 2025.

This is one of the proudest times to be a fan who buys Napoli tickets, and we think there will be time for them to celebrate even more success.

Napoli has been one of the best teams to watch in Europe this season, thanks in part to their passionate and dominating style under Antonio Conte.

He is a manager who knows how to transmit energy to his players, and it showed in every game they played last term, even those they failed to win.

Napoli as Italian champions

Napoli’s success this summer is just their fourth league crown as a team, which could come as a surprise to some fans and neutrals.

They have been one of the most popular clubs in Italian football over the years and have continued to ensure they stay around the top.

When this season began, we predicted that making Conte their manager was a good choice because they are a perfect match.

He has proven us right, and we can tell why it was easy to predict that they could be champions at the start of the term.

Conte is a manager who always wins, and Naples's lack of European football offered them a very good chance for domestic success.

They worked hard and had to fight off Inter Milan to become Italian champions, so we can say they deserved to be winners.

The Antonio Conte effect

Conte arrived at Napoli as a manager with a proven track record in the game, and the gaffer had sold so many Inter Milan tickets when he was their manager and led them to success in the league as well.

Napoli was sure he was the right choice after Juve opted for Thiago Motta over him, and he has worked his magic.

Conte has a questionable character when it comes to managing relationships with players and executives, and this nearly led to his departure from Napoli this summer.

However, there is little doubt that he is one of the world’s best managers, and if he were not the coach of Napoli, they would not have won the league.

How well are summer plans going

One reason Conte agreed to stay as Napoli manager is that he was promised the signing of some top players.

The club has been playing its part in that agreement and has just secured the signature of Kevin de Bruyne, one of the best midfielders in the world.

The Belgian leaves Manchester City as one of the best-ever players to compete for them, and Napoli will surely be better.

They are also looking for a striker to help Romelu Lukaku and have been linked with a move for Darwin Nunez and Jonathan David.

Napoli knows they must keep Conte happy, and one way to do that is to ensure they sign some new players to bolster his group. They have been doing just that over the last few weeks.

Napoli’s first five matches of the 2025/2026 league season

Napoli will begin the next season as one of the clubs that will sell more Serie A tickets, and we preview how many points they can get in their first five games.

Sassuolo vs Napoli

Sassuolo’s first game back in Serie A will be this home fixture against Napoli, which is probably one of the hardest fixtures they could get.

After spending a year in the second division, the Black and Greens would have wanted an easier first game, but Napoli will be their first opponents.

Napoli has dominated this fixture over the last few seasons, winning all five times these teams have met. Everyone who buys tickets for this game will expect a winning start for the defending champions.

Napoli vs Cagliari

Regardless of the outcome of Napoli’s first game of the season, Cagliari would be eager to take some points off them in this second match of the season.

Cagliari finished 15th in the league last term, and they are not exactly at the level of Napoli, so we do not expect them to do much in this game.

However, Napoli cannot underestimate any team because it is the start of the season, and everyone is fired up to make the best possible start to the campaign.

Before winning the league crown last season, Napoli scored six times and conceded none in two league games against Cagliari, so their fans will feel they can win this match.

Fiorentina vs Napoli

This will most likely be the first tough match that Napoli will play next season, and we expect them to work harder than in the first two games of the season.

Fiorentina surprised us when they parted ways with their manager Raffaele Palladino at the end of the season, despite securing a Conference League spot.

However, his replacement, Stefano Pioli, is even more experienced, considering that he won the Serie A title while coaching AC Milan.

Napoli fans who will buy tickets for this game will know it will be tough because La Viola has some really good stars that will cause their team problems.

Napoli vs Pisa

After the tough trip to Florence, Napoli will host another newly promoted side, and this is a game we expect them to win easily.

Pisa last played in the Italian top flight in 1991, and it deserves credit for returning to the top flight without needing the playoffs.

However, with almost no outstanding players in their team, we expect them to have a really tough season, and Napoli should continue their record of never losing to them when these teams meet.

AC Milan vs Napoli

Every supporter of Italian football will invest in a ticket for this game, and the simple reason is that they want to watch the duel between Conte and Max Allegri.

For some time, it seemed their paths would cross again as Conte was heading to Juventus and Napoli lined up Allegri as his replacement.

However, that never happened, and Allegri now manages AC Milan and would look to lead them to the league title.

These two former Juventus coaches know how to transform teams for success and we expect them to put out teams that will deliver a fantastic game.
