Spezia form and stats

Spezia was eliminated in the round of 16 last season in the Coppa Italia.

The Spezia crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Hellas Verona here at Stadio Alberto Picco. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Nzola for missing a penalty kick versus Hellas Verona in the 70th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. The forward Shomurodov outshone all the other players in that match and received a match rating of 7.34 out of 10. Shomurodov served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 7 times.

Heartbreak before that as Spezia lost 1-2 at Roma's place.

Venezia form and stats

They also participated in Coppa Italia last season. This ended in the 1st round.

The visitors are W6-D5-L8 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.

There might be some fixture complaints from Venezia as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against Cagliari. Midfielder Ellertsson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.41. Ellertsson served one assist, hit three key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 28 total).

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Cagliari's place.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Venezia playing away, we found 9 games. Results were 2 away wins, 2 draws and 5 home wins.

Venezia have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 19 league away games 22 goals have been scored. 23 goals have been conceded by Venezia in these games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's two Spezia victories, four draws and two Venezia wins. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, seven matches with two goals or less.
