Venezia vs Cagliari Predictions

Venezia are already relegated and have nothing to play for. They also have a host of suspensions for this match. Cagliari are fighting for their lives and are tipped to pick up a rare win to give themselves a shot at avoiding the drop.

Venezia have lost 10 of their last 12 matches (Serie A).
Venezia have seen BTTS Yes in 5 of their last 6 home matches (Serie A).
Cagliari have won 3 of their last 9 away matches (Serie A).
Cagliari have seen BTTS Yes in their last 3 matches (Serie A).

Head to Head

Venezia hold a 4-3 advantage against Cagliari across 13 previous matches with six draws.

The reverse fixture in Serie A ended in a 1-1 draw in October.

Venezia Form

Venezia have already been relegated and will play in Serie B next season. The side lost 10 successive matches but have since taking four points from their last two matches.

After 3-1 home defeat to Atalanta, they were beaten 2-1 at Juventus. They they lost 2-1 at Salernitana in a key relegation battle.

Their last two matches have brought a 4-3 home win against Bologna and a 1-1 draw at Roma. They played 58 minutes of that match and it was a fine point to take.

Venezia Injuries & Team News

Coach Andrea Soncin hopes to have top scorer Thomas Henry available up front after he missed the last match. Goalkeeper Sergio Romero is out injured.

Midfielder Sofian Kiyine is suspended after his red card last week and both striker David Okereke and Antonio Vacca are also ruled out. Michael Cuisance could be handed a start and loanee Ethan Ampadu could play his final match for the club.

Cagliari Form

The Rossoblu need to win this match to have any chance of avoiding relegation. They also need Salernitana to draw or lose their match to stay up.

Cagliari have lost eight of their last 10 Serie A matches. A five-match losing streak was ended by beating Sassuolo 1-0 last month but consecutive losses followed.

A 1-1 draw away at relegation rivals Salernitana was a real blow. They followed that with a 3-1 home loss to Inter Milan in their last match.

Cagliari Injuries & Team News

Coach Alessandro Agostini has no injuries or suspensions to contend with for this must-win match.

Joao Pedro is the side’s key man. He is the top scorer with 13 goals and will carry their hopes of survival.

Verdict

Venezia v Cagliari

I am tipping both sides to score in this match with Cagliari to take a rare win in their attempt at a great escape.
