This could be an interesting match as Venezia have their presumed home advantage while Salernitana are ahead 5 points in the Serie B table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Venezia form and stats
The story so far in the Serie B for Venezia at their home stadium (Stadio Pierluigi Penzo) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Stress levels are on the rise for Venezia's attacking players as they have now played 187 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Bocalon was their last goal scorer. Nothing to worry about in defence for Venezia, as their goalkeeper Luca Lezzerini has completely shut out the opponents for 259 minutes in the Serie B.
The home team returns to Stadio Pierluigi Penzo after being equal after 90 minutes with Cosenza (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 0-0. Before that, Venezia drew at home versus SPAL.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Venezia have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost one.
Venezia are traveling soon after this match as the Serie B match at Chievo awaits in three days.
Venezia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Venezia have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Salernitana form and stats
The visitors are W2-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B.
Salernitana won their last game, 2-1 versus Virtus Entella played at home. A 0-0 draw at Frosinone's stadium before that.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager F. Castori when Milan Đurić scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute.
We have checked recent matches where Salernitana have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 18 games were four victories, four draws and ten defeats.
Salernitana has another fixture away, a Serie B game, against Monza in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Salernitana when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. As opposed to that, Salernitana have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: three - two - three (Venezia wins - draws - Salernitana wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
