Latest Cagliari vs Venezia team news
Cagliari will be without veteran striker Leonardo Pavoletti due to suspension after accumulating five yellow cards. Additionally, Florinel Coman and Yerry Mina are also likely to miss due to injury. Jakub Jankto and Sebastiano Luperto's participation remains uncertain.
Although both Roberto Piccoli and Nadir Zortea have scored 9 and 6 goals respectively this season, Piccoli has consistently been the difference-maker, scoring 4 opening goals and 3 winning goals.
Venezia have no players suspended, 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 4 goals. However, this statistic also reflects a major problem in the team's attack, as they have only scored 30 goals – fewer than all but the bottom three teams.

Latest football match prediction: Cagliari vs Venezia
Cagliari entered Serie A's 37th round with the possibility of relegation still a concern, but the general feeling was that coach Davide Nicola's team had done enough to remain in Italy's top league next season.
The island team is currently 5 points ahead of the 18th and 19th placed teams, Lecce and Empoli, while only having a maximum of 6 points to gain.
Rossoblu fans can be somewhat reassured about their chances of avoiding relegation, but they also hope their team will improve their results to finish the season on a more positive note.
Cagliari have lost 4 of their last 5 Serie A matches, with their only win in this run being against Hellas Verona (1-0). In the defeats against Inter (3-1), Fiorentina (2-1), Udinese (2-1) and Como (3-1), their defense conceded two or more goals in each match.
Two of those defeats came at home, and fans are hoping the team will avoid a third consecutive loss 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 pitch, Venezia will be looking to inflict further disappointment on Cagliari after their surprising 2-1 victory over Fiorentina – who recently reached the Conference League semi-finals. Coupled with Lecce's draw against Verona, this win temporarily lifts Venezia out of the relegation zone.
The remaining two rounds will be a major challenge, especially if Venezia continues their long away winless streak. They haven't won an away game since returning to Serie A and have gone 25 consecutive games without a win away from home – their last victory was against Torino (2-1) in February 2022.
However, Venezia are currently on a five-match draw streak away from home, including draws with goals against Como, Lecce, Empoli, and Torino, following a goalless draw with Atalanta that opened the run.
History is also on the side of the orange and black team, as they are unbeaten in their last eight Serie A matches against Cagliari since November 1966. Sitting 17th and just one point ahead of Lecce and Empoli, Venezia will be determined to extend their unbeaten run to strengthen their hopes of avoiding relegation.
