Livorno form and stats

Livorno's results here at Stadio Armando Picchi in the Serie B have been very modest with 3 victories, 2 draws and 9 defeats. With eight home Serie B games in a row without a win, the Livorno fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Juve Stabia game long ago, can be stopped today.

It's back home for Livorno, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Juve Stabia away with the result 3-2. Matija Boben, Manuel Marras and Davide Agazzi found the net in that victory. Ahead of that match, Livorno lost 0-2 at home to Cittadella.

A late climax in the match against Juve Stabia as the winning goal came five minutes into overtime; scored by Matija Boben.

This is expected to be a close game, with Livorno perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Livorno as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Livorno has won four of these, drawn two and lost seven.

Livorno are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Trapani awaits in four days.

Livorno has scored 17 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. Livorno have conceded 30 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Venezia form and stats

As the visiting team in Serie B matches, Venezia have produced an overall stat of 5-7-3 so far.

Mattia Aramu and Marco Firenze scored in Venezia's previous match, the home game against Ascoli that ended 2-1. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Pordenone that ended 0-0.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager A. Dionisi when Marco Firenze scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 27th minute.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eleven similar matches played by Venezia in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Venezia, four draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Venezia are hosting Empoli in the Serie B only four days away.

The visiting Venezia have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 15 games. It's not easy to score on Venezia as they have only conceded 14 goals from these away games.
