Due to a completely healthy group to choose from, the Venezia boss Paolo Vanoli has no fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this game. Antonio Candela is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that Arancioneroverdi seem most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 system using Jesse Joronen, Michael Svoboda, Jay Idzes, Marin Sverko, Nicholas Pierini, Gianluca Busio, Tanner Tessmann, Nunzio Lella, Francesco Zampano, B. Steinn Bjarkason and Joel Pohjanpalo.
