Venezia form and stats

With 3 Serie A wins, 4 draws and 11 defeats from their home games, Venezia are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The home team returns to Stadio Pierluigi Penzo after drawing with Roma (placed 6th) on their last time out; the game ended 1-1. Venezia's goalie Mäenpää played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Roma with a stunning 16 saves.

Before that game, the 4-3 home victory against Bologna.

The Venezia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 18 matches. Venezia have conceded 38 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Cagliari form and stats

There's been little loot from Cagliari's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 18 away games in the Serie A. Cagliari only have 3 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 5 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Cagliari in their previous game as they lost hosting Inter, 1-3. Lykogiannis, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.13. Lykogiannis scored one goal and won 0 of 4 duels.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Salernitana that ended 1-1.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Cagliari as they have only managed to score 14 times from 18 away games in the league. Cagliari's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 35 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

This isn't the first time these parties meet on the pitch this season, as the history books show this recent fixture: Cagliari - Venezia 1-1.
