Spezia vs Venezia Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of Spezia’s last four games.
• Meanwhile, Venezia have seen six of their last 10 contests feature fewer than three goals.
• Venezia have failed to score in back-to-back games, while the hosts have only scored three times in their last four matches.

Saturday six-pointer will be tense

With Spezia winning just one of their last seven league games and Venezia winless in five, Saturday’s head-to-head meeting could well prove crucial in the race to avoid relegation. Venezia’s need for points is the most desperate, however, with a run of four consecutive defeats plunging them into 19^th.

Spezia have only won one of their last seven games, though Thiago Motta’s men did taste victory in their most recent home outing. They currently possess a seven-point cushion over Venezia and Genoa, so a win on Saturday could vanquish their fears of the drop. However, a lack of firepower means the hosts remain in contention; they’ve scored just three goals in their last four games, and have lost five of their last six matches.

Venezia, meanwhile, are even worse in front of goal, being one of just four Serie A teams to average below a goal per game this season. Indeed, Paolo Zanetti’s men have seen six of their last 10 games contain under 2.5 goals, failing to score in their last two as part of a four-match losing run.

Expect chances to be at a premium in crucial clash

With under 2.5 goals also being scored in three of Spezia’s last four matches, this clash between Serie A’s fifth- and third-worst attacking outfits, respectively, promises more of the same.

Under 2.5 match goals looks the outstanding play for this contest, while a 1-0 Spezia win could offer decent correct score value, with Venezia managing just three wins, and 10 goals, in their 14 away games this term.
