Betting on Cagliari
Cagliari is heading into this decisive match in great form thanks to four consecutive victories that have them dreaming of an early return to Serie A after relegation last season.
However, the road will be far from easy. Claudio Ranieri’s men finished fifth in the standings and must not only beat Venezia this Saturday, but then face a tough Parma in a virtual semi-final and then triumph in the final.
To do so, they will rely on their good defense, which finished the competition as the third-best in Serie B with 34 goals conceded. Likewise, Cagliari lost only two of their 19 home games and have gone 15 games without defeat after they were beaten by Venezia.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Boris Radunovic; Gabriele Zappa, Alberto Dossena, Giorgio Altare, Paulo Dentello; Christos Kourfalidis, Alessandro Deiola, Marko Rog; Marco Mancosu; Leonardo Pavoletti, Gianluca Lapadula.
Betting on Venezia
Despite the harsh defeat the locals suffered during last matchday, Venezia managed to sneak into the Playoffs for promotion to Serie A, the division from which they were relegated after the previous Serie A campaign, just like Cagliari.
With 49 points and a better goal difference than Palermo, the team coached by Paolo Vanoli moved into eighth place in the standings after only losing two of their last ten games played. This performance cannot be diminished considering that if they reach the final, all their matches will be away games.
Playing away, Venezia lost eight of the ten games it played, but finished as the sixth-best team in the circuit with 23 points out of a possible 57. Likewise, the Leoni Alati were the fourth-best attack in the circuit with 51 goals scored, but have the worst defense among the teams of the Playoff qualifiers with 50 goals conceded.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Jesse Joronen; Michael Svoboda, Luca Cappitelli, Andrea Carboni; Antonio Candela, Magnus Andersen, Tanner Tessmann, Mikael Ellertsson, Francesco Zampano; Joel Pohjanpalo, Dennis Johnsen.
JefeBet Prediction
Certainly, one of Cagliari’s two home losses this season was to Venezia, but after that defeat they have not dropped points again in front of their fans and have gone 15 straight games without defeat.
Undoubtedly an interesting achievement for the team led by Claudio Ranieri, a coach who specializes in getting the most out of all his players, as he has done this campaign under the command of Cagliari.
These elements are a very important plus before hosting Venezia, who closed the campaign on a high note, but have conceded 10 goals in their last eight games. Not for nothing did they finish as one of the clubs with the most goals conceded in Serie B this year.
Prediction: Cagliari Moneyline (CAG 2 – VEN 1).
