Venezia

DWDLDW

Venezia head into the game after a 2-1 Serie A win against Fiorentina in their last fixture.

In that match, Venezia managed 34% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For Venezia, the scorers were Fali Candé (60') and Gaetano Oristanio (68'). On the other side, Fiorentina had 17 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Rolando Mandragora (77') was the scorer for Fiorentina.

The stats tell the story, and Venezia have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals in all. In defence, Venezia have some weaknesses to address. Even so, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern shall be replicated in this game or not.

Leading up to this clash, Venezia:

• have not been beaten by Cagliari in away games against them for the last 3 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 5 league matches away from home.
• have not won away from home in their last 20 league games. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

🗞️ Team News: Cagliari

Jakub Jankto (Ankle problems), Florinel Coman (Achilles tendon problems) and Yerry Mina (Hamstring injury) will not be taking part for Cagliari manager Davide Nicola.

It seems likely that Casteddu / Rossoblu look set to opt for a 3-5-2 system in the match with Elia Caprile, Gabriele Zappa, Jose Luis Palomino, Sebastiano Luperto, Nadir Zortea, Michel Adopo, Antoine Makoumbou, Nicolas Viola, Tommaso Augello, Roberto Piccoli and Zito Luvumbo.

ℹ️ Team News: Venezia

Venezia boss Eusebio Di Francesco has to currently contend with reduced team options. Richie Sagrado (muscular problems), Alfred Duncan (muscular problems) and Michael Svoboda (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that Arancioneroverdi could decide to begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, going with Ionut Radu, Joël Schingtienne, Jay Idzes, Fali Candé, Alessio Zerbin, Kike Pérez, H. N. Caviglia, Gianluca Busio, M. Egill Ellertsson, John Yeboah and Gaetano Oristanio.

⚡ Prediction

Our thinking is that Venezia and Cagliari could both end up scoring in a what should be a good tussle with little between the two teams.

Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. We’re therefore predicting a very close game with a score draw at the end of this one.
