Venezia

LLLWDD

Venezia will play in this fixture following on from a 0-0 Serie A stalemate vs Cagliari.

In that match, Venezia managed 43% possession and 7 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, Cagliari had 31 shots at goal with 7 of them on target.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Venezia have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Venezia have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 11 goals in the process. Putting that to one side, we must now wait to see if that pattern might be replicated here in this game.

Ascoli

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Benevento in Serie B - Play-offs competition, Ascoli and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

A run of effective performances from the Ascoli defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 2 from their past 6 outings overall. Over that same period of time, their forwards have scored 8.
