Reggina will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 8 points behind Venezia.

Insights:
  • Reggina have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Venezia have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Reggina and Venezia.

These teams have little in common geographically as Venezia have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
