It's game two of the Serie B season and everything to play for. Read our full preview!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Venezia when visiting Trapani as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

Trapani form and stats

Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Trapani, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

In their previous game, the manager F. Baldini led his Trapani to a defeat in the Serie B match away at Ascoli. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Polisportivo Provinciale. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Ascoli (0-2).

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 Trapani have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 0 Lost 1.

Last season, Trapani's league statistics were 22 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses, resulting in a 2nd position in the Serie C: Girone C. Over these 36 matches they scored 60 goals and conceded 34. Playing at home last season Trapani managed 16-1-1 (win-draw-lost) with 38 goals and 12 conceded.

Venezia form and stats

Venezia failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Cremonese that ended with defeat 1-2. It was a Coppa Italia defeat before that one as the away game against Parma wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Venezia playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 3 Venezia wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats.

Let's have a look at how Venezia performed last season in the Serie C: Girone B: They landed a 15th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 14 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 35 and conceded 46 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 6 and lost 10 with 13/24 goals scored/conceded.
