During their first meeting of the season, both teams were coming off a short week of preparation because of the Thursday-night game. Kingsbury, who jumped on a conference call with Bay Area reporters on Wednesday, expects to get the 49ers' best shot on Sunday.
"You know the type of team they're going to be," Kingsbury said. "They're going to be well-coached in all three phases. They're going to play hard. They've got a lot of juice, a lot of swagger this season, so you've got to expect their best shot.
"They have a little shorter week but I know they have a great plan to get those guys [recuperated], and after a tough loss, we'll definitely get their best shot at home."
During their Week 9 meeting, the 49ers edged the Cardinals 28-25 at State Farm Stadium on Halloween night. The two teams meet at Levi's Stadium on Sunday with kickoff scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT.
