Venezia form and stats

Venezia's struggle is real here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo with only 11 points collected from 14 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-5-7. Venezia are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Livorno match.

An away draw last time out for Venezia, facing Pordenone in a game that ended 0-0. Preceding that match was the home game against Crotone that was lost 1-3.

Mattia Aramu felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Pordenone as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 62nd minute.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Venezia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 17 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn nine and lost one.

There will be little rest for Venezia after this match as they are travelling to Livorno for a Serie B game in only three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Venezia here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 14 games). Venezia have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Ascoli form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ascoli so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-11 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Ascoli much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Venezia will be a tough nut to crack. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Ascoli are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

The manager G. Abascal Perez was unhappy after their last game, a Serie B match played at their home ground Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca. Ascoli suffered a 0-1 loss to Perugia (placed 10th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Cremonese.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ascoli playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Ascoli wins, two draws and one defeat.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Crotone in just three days.

The visiting Ascoli have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 17 goals from 15 games. The Ascoli manager G. Abascal Perez has some worries about the defense as 30 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Ascoli - Venezia 1-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Venezia won two games, two matches ended with a draw and Ascoli has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / four
