Review and prediction Hellas Verona vs Cagliari: Holding on to the dream of staying in the league

Latest Hellas Verona vs Cagliari team information

Hellas hope to have top scorer Casper Tengstedt back for Monday's game after several weeks on the sidelines, but Pawel Dawidowicz will miss out with a muscle injury.

The Polish international has recently been moved from centre-back to holding midfielder by the manager, so Suat Serdar or Cheikh Niasse could be pushed into the starting line-up to replace him.

With Tengstedt not yet in top form, Amin Sarr, Daniel Mosquera and Dailon Livramento will compete for the two starting spots in attack.

On Cagliari's side, they will certainly not have the services of their main striker Roberto Piccoli, who is suspended due to receiving enough yellow cards after the match against Fiorentina.

That leaves full-back Tommaso Augello as the only Rossoblu player to maintain a 100% appearance record in Serie A this season — he will continue to start on the left, while Nadir Zortea occupies the right wing.

Alessandro Deiola has returned from suspension, while centre-back Yerry Mina is in danger of missing the final five games of the season with a serious thigh injury.

Latest predicted lineup Hellas Verona vs Cagliari

Hellas Verona:
Montipo; Ghilardi, Coppola, Valentini; Tchatchoua, Duda, Serdar, Bernede, Bradaric; Sarr, Mosquera

Cagliari:
Caprile; Zappa, Palomino, Luperto; Zortea, Adopo, Makoumbou, Augello; Viola, Luvumbo; Pavoletti

Latest football prediction Hellas Verona vs Cagliari

After three consecutive draws — having previously won three of seven — Verona had created a significant gap above the relegation zone before facing Roma last week.

As usual, they left the capital empty-handed, suffering their 22nd defeat in 28 away games against the Giallorossi at the Stadio Olimpico. However, the final say remains in Verona's hands.

Although Paolo Zanetti's side have gone four games without a win at the crucial stage of the season, they still have three direct clashes with their relegation rivals — Cagliari, Lecce and Empoli — before the end of the campaign.

Hellas have improved defensively recently, but excluding own goals, they have scored just five goals in Serie A in 2025, and no player has scored more than one.

Coach Zanetti will therefore need to find the right balance as Verona aim to extend their unbeaten run at home to Cagliari: the Gialloblu have won nine of their last 14 meetings at the Stadio Bentegodi, drawing the other five.

Of course, away team Cagliari will be determined to end that winless streak, and at the same time complete the double against Verona for the first time since 1972.

Cagliari won the first leg 1-0 thanks to a late goal from top scorer Roberto Piccoli in November, but they are now two points behind Verona in the table.

Wednesday's replay against Fiorentina marked Cagliari's 17th defeat in Serie A this season, as they failed to hold on to their advantage after Piccoli's opener in Sardinia.

The battle to stay in Serie A for a third consecutive season is still on, and coach Davide Nicola — a seasoned relegation specialist — will be hoping to pull off another remarkable escape.

However, after their first away win of 2025 against bottom-placed Monza, Cagliari have picked up just three points from their next seven away trips, scoring just three goals — not a very encouraging sign ahead of the trip to the Bentegodi.
