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 in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Cagliari, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 0L) — 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: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Venezia a slight edge, but Cagliari are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
