Good afternoon and welcome to the live broadcast of the match between Venice and Cagliari, a match valid for the 17th matchday of Serie A!10:05

We are at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium! Eusebio Di Francesco's Venezia hosts Davide Nicola's Cagliari. There are 3 fundamental points up for grabs to try to get out of the relegation zone!10:14

Venezia is in last place in the standings tied with Monza with 10 points. After 4 consecutive defeats, in the last 2 days of the championship there were 2 draws for 2-2. The first against Como in a match conditioned by the strong wind present at Penzo; the second took place in Turin against Juventus, a match in which the lagoon players were ahead until the 95th minute, when Vlahovic converted the penalty kick that sealed the result. 10:13

Cagliari occupies 18th place in Serie A thanks to the 14 points gained so far. Only one goal scored in the last 3 championship matches (which earned the victory against Hellas Verona) by the rossoblù team and only 2 goals conceded in the defeats against Atalanta and Fiorentina. On Tuesday also came the elimination from the Italian Cup with Nicola's boys who were defeated by Juventus with a clear 4-0.10:21

It will be Mr. Marco Guida from Torre Annunziata blew the whistle for the match. He will be assisted by assistants Rossi (La Spezia) and Trinchieri (Milan). IV Man Zufferli (Udine). Marini (Roma 1) and Sozza (Seregno) will be assigned to VAR.10:27

THE PRECEDENTS. The two teams will meet for the 36th time, the balance shows us 10 victories for the Sardinians, 13 draws and 12 successes for the lagoon players. The last time the two teams faced each other, on 27 May 2023, the islanders won 2-1 thanks to two goals from Gianluca Lapadula in response to that of Nicholas Pierini in the match valid for the preliminaries of the playoffs of Serie B championship 2022-2023.10:27

OFFICIAL TRAINING VENICE. Di Francesco opts for the 3-4-2-1 for this Serie A match. Stankovic; Sverko, Idzes, Altare; Ellertson, Andersen, Nicolussi Caviglia, Zampano; Busio, Oristanio; Pohjanpalo.14:29

Available Venice. Joronen, Grandi, Gytkjaer, Candela, Yeboah, El Haddad, Carboni, Schingtienne, Bjarkason, Haps, Crnigoj, Doumbia.14:31

Cagliari available. Ciocci, Scuffet, Mutandwa, Palomino, Dentello, Obert, Prati, Wieteska, Viola, Marin, Jankto, Lapadula, Felici, Pavoletti.14:35

Di Francesco's choices. The Abruzzo coach has to miss out on Svoboda, Duncan, Sagrado and Raimondo due to injury. For this match he confirms the team as a whole, which forced Juventus to a draw in the last round of the championship, replacing only the unavailable Svoboda and starting Altare in the back three from the first minute. Zampano is the only one warned.14:38

Nicola's choices. Not having Zito Luvumbo available, who suffered a sprained left ankle, the Casteddu coach identified Gaetano as the alternative to give a starting shirt. This is the only change compared to the defeat suffered at the Unipo Domus against Gasperini's Atalanta. Razvan Marin is the only player on the squad who has been warned by a booking.14:42

The last match between the 2 teams in Serie A dates back to the last day of the 21/22 championship. Already relegated Venezia imposed a 0-0 draw on the Sardinians, condemning them to relegation. On that occasion it was Davide Nicola's Salernitana who survived and now sits on the Cagliari bench.14:59

Ritual photo and exchange of pennants between the captains. Everything is ready for this fundamental challenge with a view to salvation!15:00

THE GAME BEGINS AT PENZO!! First possession managed by the local team. 15:02

Venezia wears a black uniform with orange-green details on the sides. Cagliari completely in white.15:04

Zortea runs down the right wing and crosses to the near post. Sverko moves away.15:03

Identical situation to last minute. Zortea keeps a complicated ball on the field and always crosses to the near post. Sverko still keeps good guard.15:05

Zortea uses his body on Ellertson to control the ball into a goal kick, but the ball stops first! Good pressure from Venezia who recovers and with Zampano attempts a shot from outside the area. I pull out of the door mirror.15:07

Prolonged action by Cagliari. Zortea's cross from the right does not find Deiola who was slow to insert it.15:10

Cagliari tries to build phrases with the ball on the ground. Venezia covers the passing lines well.15:12

Deep ball for Oristanio who suffers a body-check from Luperto at the moment of acceleration. Protests from the attacker for Guida's failure to whistle.15:14

Zappa cunningly wins a corner for the islanders. Last touch from Ellertson.15:14
