Prediction: 1-1
Venezia
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Fiorentina, Venezia will look to move one step closer towards survival when they face Cagliari at Unipol Domus. I Lagunari proved their worth in Monday’s clash, but they can’t afford any complacency in the season finale. Cheick Conde suffered a serious injury in the last league match, while defender Michael Svoboda remains in the recovery room.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, are five points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from Sunday’s encounter. As Venezia would be satisfied with the share of spoils as well, we are tempted to bet on draw. Towering Cagliari defender Yerry Mina remains on the sidelines with injury, while Romanian forward Florinel Coman faces race against the clock to be fit for the Venezia game. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Unipol Domus.
Highlighted Team (Cagliari):
Cagliari are a professional football club based in Cagliari, Sardinia. I Rossoblu (The Red and Blues) compete in Italian Serie A and the club’s biggest success came in 1970, when they won the national championship.
Cagliari finished the season in top position in the standings, four points clear of Juventus and it has to be noted that Luigi Riva led Cagliari to their first Serie A trophy.
I Rossoblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Sant’Elia and the capacity of the stadium is 16,000. In the 1993/1994 season Cagliari made it to the UEFA Cup semis, with the team suffering a loss to fellow Italian club Inter in the two-legged tie.
Giuseppe Pancaro helped Cagliari record a 3-2 win over Inter in the first leg, but I Rossoblu were hammered by the Nerazzurri in the second leg (3-0). Palermo are regarded as Cagliari’s main rivals and the two teams square off against each other in the Derby delle Isole.
