Mazzari needs to adjust Cagliari’s tactics
Having collected just two points from six matches in Serie A this season, this is Cagliari’s worst start in nine years. Moreover, at the same stage, the Islanders had to wins but are still looking for their first victory this term. Notably, coach Mazzari’s problems lay on both ends of the field.
To illustrate, the Rossoblu scored just over one goal per game with seven goals in six matches. While on the other end their defense let in 15 goals. Thus Mazzari needs to have an immediate shift in his team’s overall performance. Obviously, the 3-5-2 adopted by Mazzari is not paying off and needs to be adjusted in the crucial game against Venezia before it’s too late.
Cagliari Key Points
Venezia need to improve to stay in Serie A
Venezia finished fifth in Serie B last season and had to play promotion playoffs. Eventually, the Winged Lions got promoted to Serie A for the first time since 2001. However, coach Paolo Zanetti’s team is finding life difficult in the top flight are in the relegation zone already.
In spite of doing one degree better than Cagliari by winning a match, still like their opponents, they need quick adjustments. During their last match against Torino, Zanetti’s team went down by a goal in the second half. However, an equalizer by Aramu from the spot gave Venezia a lifeline and some morale ahead of their trip to Sardegna.

Cagliari vs Venezia Prediction
As we discussed in our preview, it is crucial for Cagliari to find their first win of the season. In doing so, Mazzari’s team may leave the relegation zone if Spezia loses to Verona. Despite it’s early in the season, however, it’s important to win against teams who are direct challengers.
A win away to Empoli didn’t pave the way for Venezia for more victories. On the contrary, Zanetti’s team grabbed just one point from the next three matches.
As a result of all this, the bookies are favoring Cagliari to win with odds of 1.74 at Vbet. But we think with the importance of this game anything is possible. Hence we will go with both teams to score as was the case in most of both teams’ recent matches.
