Venezia have rested following their 0-2-fixture versus Sampdoria and are eager to face Spezia. Get all the information!

Insights:
  • Spezia haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Venezia have the fewest scored goals in the second half (12) in Serie A

2-0-0 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Venezia when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those two matches are 3-0 (scored/conceded).

Spezia and Venezia should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Spezia form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Spezia have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 14 games. When Spezia hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Genoa, Cagliari, Sampdoria, Spezia, Udinese and Salernitana), they have won 3 of 5 matches!

The supporters are hoping that Spezia will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-4 away loss in the match against Sassuolo (placed 9th). Midfielder Verde was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.42 (out of ten) in that game. Verde scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Cagliari in a game that was won 2-0.

Spezia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. 17 goals have been conceded. 11 of these goals came after the match timer had passed 60 minutes (more than 60 percent). Spezia has at home met teams with this table position (low), five times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.

Venezia form and stats

There's been little loot from Venezia's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the Serie A. Venezia only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws. It's looking increasingly bleak for Venezia who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Genoa was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Venezia have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 236 minutes ago. Henry was the goal scorer.

Venezia's previous game was their home loss versus Sampdoria (0-2). Aramu got a match rating of 7.45 in that game, top player of the team. Aramu hit two key passes.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Lazio's place.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Venezia's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips.

Venezia - Spezia 1-2 was the score in these squads' previous H2H fixture, played this season.
