Venezia form and stats

With 2 Serie B wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Venezia are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Venezia after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The club members are hoping that Venezia will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the game against Perugia (placed 20th). The first loss after collecting points in four league matches. The striker Pohjanpalo bettered all teammates in that game and was awarded a match rating of 7.65 out of 10. Pohjanpalo scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that, Venezia had a home game versus Cosenza which ended with a victory 2-0.

Venezia have conceded 15 from these games. When Venezia hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Cittadella, Cagliari, SPAL, Como, Cosenza and Perugia), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.
