Genoa vs Venezia prediction

THE FORECAST

Both sides are mired in the relegation zone with poor defensive records and heavy injury lists, making this a tight, scrappy affair between two struggling sides. Genoa hold the home advantage under De Rossi's three-back system but face a quick turnaround in three days, and with nine players unavailable their squad depth is severely tested; Venezia are similarly hampered with an even longer absentee list under Nicola. Mild, dry conditions suit either side equally, and with both teams averaging under one goal scored per game, a low-scoring match where Genoa's home edge just edges things in their favour is the most likely outcome.
