Venezia

WLLDLL

Venezia will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 4-0 Serie A losing effort in their last game against AC Milan.

In that game, Venezia had 38% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 on target. AC Milan had 12 attempts at goal with 8 on target. Theo Hernández (2'), Youssouf Fofana (16'), Christian Pulišić (25') and Tammy Abraham (29') scored for AC Milan.

Venezia haven’t made the most of their chances of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 against opponents over their last six matches. In those games, Venezia have also seen the number of goals scored against them total 11. That trend won’t necessarily follow through here, however.

Genoa

WWDWLD

In their previous game, Genoa drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Roma.

In that match, Genoa managed 49% possession and 20 attempts at goal with 8 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Genoa was Koni De Winter (96'). For their opponents, Roma got 16 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Artem Dovbyk (37') scored for Roma.

For 5 of the prior six games featuring Genoa, a relatively low number of goals have been hit between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game within that period is just 2, with the average goals for Il Grifone equalling 1.17.

🤜🤛 Head to head

An examination of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 16/01/2005 shows that these fixtures have been disappointments for Venezia. They’ve not been able to come away with any wins whatsoever whereas Genoa have managed to find a way, getting wins in 67% of those games played.

14 goals were scored between the two sides during those clashes, with 4 from Arancioneroverdi and 10 being from Il Grifone. That is an average goals per game value of 2.33.

The last league encounter between the two was Serie B match day 20 on 16/01/2023 which ended up with the score at Genoa 1-0 Venezia.

That time, Genoa had 52% possession and 12 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer was Massimo Coda (85').

Venezia got 9 shots at goal with 1 on target.

The referee was Gianpiero Miele.

🗞️ Team News: Venezia

Bjarki Bjarkason (Herniated disc), Giorgio Altare (unknown injury), Alfred Duncan (muscular problems) and Ridgeciano Haps (unknown injury) will be missing for Venezia manager Eusebio Di Francesco.

In all likelihood, Arancioneroverdi should line up in a 3-4-2-1 system, beginning the first half with Jesse Joronen, Antonio Candela, Jay Idzes, Marin Sverko, Francesco Zampano, Michael Svoboda, M. Egill Ellertsson, Gianluca Busio, M. Kofod Andersen, Gaetano Oristanio and Joel Pohjanpalo.

📰 Team News: Genoa

Genoa manager Alberto Gilardino has a number of players out of action. Junior Messias (muscular problems), Fabio Miretti (unknown injury), Brooke Norton-Cuffy (Foot injury) and David Ankeye (infection) won’t be making appearances.

We believe Il Grifone seem likely to make use of a 4-4-2 system, giving starts to Pierluigi Gollini, Alessandro Vogliacco, Koni De Winter, Johan Vasquez, Milan Badelj, Stefano Sabelli, Morten Frendrup, Ruslan Malinovsky, Aaron Caricol, Andrea Pinamonti and Vitor Oliveira.

💭 Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Venezia will need to put in a solid display to breach the defence of this Genoa side who we reckon should do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

Therefore, we predict a narrow 0-1 winning margin for Genoa at the end of the 90.

Let’s see how this one goes.
