Preview

Match preview

A crucial bottom-table encounter takes place at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris as 17th-placed Genoa host 20th-placed Venezia. Both clubs are separated by just one point in the early stages of the Serie A campaign, making this a pivotal meeting in their battle to move away from the relegation places.

Genoa come into this fixture having taken four points from seven league matches, with their sole league victory coming at home in a 2-1 win against Fiorentina. Alberto Gilardino's side has found goals hard to come by, averaging 0.7 goals per match across the season, but their home displays have produced their most competitive performances to date.

Venezia secured a morale-boosting 1-0 home victory against Napoli in their most recent outing, but their form on the road remains a significant issue. The visitors have lost all three away fixtures in Serie A this season, conceding eight times while scoring three, leaving them vulnerable when travelling.

Analysis

Key factors

Double Chance
Genoa or Draw
74%
Confidence

Genoa have produced their best results on home soil, including a 2-1 win over Fiorentina and a 1-0 cup win over Sudtirol, while Venezia have lost all three of their away league games this season. Venezia concede an average of 2.7 goals per game on the road, but Genoa's modest scoring rate of 0.7 goals per game suggests a tight, low-margin contest. Backing Genoa to avoid defeat covers both the home win and the draw in a fixture where Venezia have consistently struggled to take points away from home.
