Venezia Analysis
The visiting team debuts in this edition with great expectations, after having gained access in the previous season. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, they have similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss in away matches, with a total of 21 goals scored and 13 conceded. At home, they won 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats, with a total of 23 goals scored and 15 conceded.

Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times but managed to turn the score around in 2.
Venezia comes unmotivated for this journey after a setback, in penalties, against Frosinone, in a match counting for the Coppa Italia. It should be noted that this team managed to be promoted to the first Italian in the 2020/2021 season. Like the opponent of this round, the visiting team must act in a tactical system in 4-3-3, in order to take advantage of quick transitions. In any case, it’s foreseeable that Venezia will adopt a more defensive posture, with the objective of trying not to concede the first goal. Coach Paolo Zanetti will be without Lauri Ala-Myllymäki because he is injured.
