Latest Cagliari vs Venezia team information
Cagliari will be without veteran striker Leonardo Pavoletti, who is suspended after picking up five yellow cards. Florinel Coman and Yerry Mina are also likely to miss out due to injury. Jakub Jankto and Sebastiano Luperto are also doubtful.
Although both Roberto Piccoli and Nadir Zortea have scored nine and six goals respectively this season, Piccoli has often made the difference with four opening goals and three winning goals.
Venezia have no suspended players, but will be without Alfred Duncan (muscle injury), Cheick Conde (ankle) and Michael Svoboda (knee).
Hans Nicolussi Caviglia – on loan from Juventus – is Venezia’s top scorer in Serie A with four goals. However, this statistic also reflects the team’s big problem in attack, with them only scoring 30 goals – fewer than all but the bottom three teams.

Latest Cagliari vs Venezia football review
Cagliari enter round 37 of Serie A with the possibility of relegation still on the cards, but the general feeling is that coach Davide Nicola's side have done enough to stay in Italy's top flight next season.
The island team is 5 points ahead of the 18th and 19th ranked teams Lecce and Empoli, while there are only 6 maximum points left to win.
Rossoblu fans can rest assured about their chances of staying in the league, but they also want their team to improve their results to end the season on a more positive note.
Cagliari have lost four of their last five Serie A games, with their only win in that run coming against Hellas Verona (1-0). In defeats to Inter (3-1), Fiorentina (2-1), Udinese (2-1) and Como (3-1), the defence has conceded two or more goals.
Two of those defeats came at home, and fans will be hoping the team can avoid a third consecutive defeat at the Sardegna Arena – something that hasn’t happened since March-April 2022 when they lost to Lazio (0-3), AC Milan (0-1) and Juventus (1-2).
On the other side of the front line, Venezia will try to further disappoint Cagliari after a surprising 2-1 win over Fiorentina - the team that just reached the Conference League semi-finals. Together with Lecce's draw with Verona, this victory temporarily helps Venezia escape the red zone.
The remaining two games will be a big test, especially if Venezia continue their long winless run away from home. They have not won a game away from home since returning to Serie A and have gone 25 consecutive away games without a win – their last win was against Torino (2-1) in February 2022.
However, Venezia are now on a run of five consecutive away draws, including goal-scoring draws against Como, Lecce, Empoli and Torino, after a goalless draw with Atalanta opened the run.
History is also on the side of the black and orange team as they are unbeaten in their last 8 Serie A matches against Cagliari since November 1966. Sitting in 17th place and just 1 point ahead of Lecce and Empoli, Venezia will be determined to extend their unbeaten streak to strengthen their hopes of staying in the league.
