Venezia - Genoa predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Venezia will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Genoa.

2.48 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Genoa are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

Venezia’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Milan as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 4:0 loss for Venezia.

Genoa are here on the back of a draw in their most recent home game, which they secured despite falling behind early. Moreover, the 2.25 betting odds were firmly in their opponents’ favour, so the stalemate caught most tipsters by surprise.

Venezia can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 7 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Being in the relegation zone is not yet a disaster for Venezia because the season is still in its early stages. However, walking away with 3 points this Saturday will be quite difficult, which makes their job of earning 1 point all the more difficult.

With $ODDS_AWAW_WIN odds on the visitors winning, they won’t have an easy time earning any additional points. However, the effort would be worth it in the long run. We’re merely at round 5 of the season, so they can afford to dream much bigger than the current 11th spot on the table.

Before assuming the favoured visitors will win, keep in mind that their lineup has been altered due to several injuries. Junior Messias, Alessandro Zanoli, B. Norton-Cuffy, Fabio Miretti will all be missing for various reasons, leaving the coach with a shorter lineup than usual.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.67.
