Venue: Stadio Comunale Chiavari (5535 seats)

The Serie B season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Virtus Entella and Venezia promises to be an interesting one.

It's no vacation for neither Virtus Entella nor Venezia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artificial turf and that the visiting Venezia have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artificial turf is 2-4-0 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.
