📋 Team News: Lecco

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Lecco boss Andrea Malgrati to contend with from an otherwise complete group of players. Eugenio Lamanna (Patellar tendon rupture) will miss out.

In all likelihood, Lecco look set to employ a 4-3-3 system this time, beginning the first half with Riccardo Melgrati, Franco Lepore, Vedran Celjak, Alessandro Bianconi, Alessandro Caporale, Giorgio Galli, D. Degli Innocenti, Artur Ionita, Giovanni Crociata, Andrija Novakovich and Nicolò Buso.

📰 Team News: Venezia

Owing to a completely injury-free group available to select from, the Venezia boss Paolo Vanoli has no fitness worries at all before this game.

We believe Arancioneroverdi appear most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 formation by sending out Jesse Joronen, Michael Svoboda, Jay Idzes, Marin Sverko, Antonio Candela, Gianluca Busio, Tanner Tessmann, M. Egill Ellertsson, B. Steinn Bjarkason, Christian Gytkjær and Joel Pohjanpalo.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that Lecco will need to put in a solid display to register a score against this Venezia lineup who we think will end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Venezia when all is said and done.

Looking forward to this.
