This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie B, Venezia holding 15th place and Trapani lying 19th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
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 Trapani when visiting Venezia as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.
Venezia form and stats
Venezia's struggle is real here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo with only 8 points collected from 9 Serie B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-5.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Venezia, as their goalkeeper Luca Lezzerini has completely shut out the opponents for 250 minutes in the Serie B.
The home team returns to Stadio Pierluigi Penzo after being equal after 90 minutes with Cremonese (placed 17th) on their last time out; the Serie B game ended 0-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Perugia and winning 1-0.
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 eleven games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Venezia here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (6 from 9 games). 11 goals have been conceded.
Trapani form and stats
Trapani, who have the most conceded goals (37) in Serie B, have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Serie B, after 2-2-6 (10 played).
Trapani won their last game, 3-1 versus Ascoli played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Crotone wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
A heroic performance from Trapani in their game against Ascoli last time out. Things got complicated when Fausto Grillo was sent off in the 52nd minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 3-1 victory!
We have checked recent matches where Trapani have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were W1-D2-L1.
Trapani are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 10 games (in the league). The Trapani manager F. Castori has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
