Genoa - Venezia predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.97, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.14 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

,It all seemed lost for Genoa at the half-time break of their previous away game. Their opponents Torino were in the lead and were expected to win – but Genoa managed to equalize against all odds and walk away with a point in a 1:1 stalemate.

Venezia last played a home game, though the advantage couldn’t help them overcome the betting odds which seemed stacked against them. After an indecisive first half, their opponents Roma finally took the lead in the late game and recorded a 0:1 victory.

Genoa have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Genoa narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 1.97 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
