How are both teams coming into this?
Cagliari have picked up form sporadically over the past few weeks, but inconsistency has plagued their campaign. After a series of home draws and narrow defeats, they know a win here could propel them clear of the relegation zone and boost confidence in front of their supporters.
Meanwhile, Venezia remain embroiled in the battle to avoid the drop, having struggled for points on the road. Their defence has been tested heavily, and they’ll need to find a sharper edge in attack if they’re to leave Sardinia with anything other than a defeat.
Our forecast
We expect a tight encounter with both sides cautious in defence. Cagliari’s home form gives them a slight advantage, but Venezia have shown resilience on occasions this season. Goals are likely to be at a premium, making under 2.5 goals an appealing option.
Given the high stakes, a narrow home victory appears the most probable outcome, though a draw cannot be ruled out if Venezia dig in deep. Punters might also consider the “both teams to score: no” market for added value.
