Venezia desperately need points on Sunday, Feb 21 at 6:30 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Venezia come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 5L in last 5). Cagliari, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Venezia head into this on the back of a defeat, while Cagliari arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Venezia and Cagliari have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Venezia won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Cagliari's quality should tell even on the road. Venezia will push, but the visitors have too much class. Cagliari to win.
