The Italian Serie B continues this weekend including the meeting between Venezia and Ternana. The match will be played on the 3rd of December at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo and the hosts begin the weekend in 19th place on 12 points with the visitors in 5th place on 22 points.
Venezia come into the game on the back of a rare 1-0 win in Serie B. They defeated Palermo 1-0 away from home last weekend, with the only goal of the game scored in the 65th minute. That result ended a run of 3 straight defeats in Serie B, with the losses coming at home against Ascoli and Reggina plus away to Como.
Home form has been poor and Venezia have failed to win any of their 8 competitive home fixtures this season. They have lost 6 of their 7 home Serie B games and have struggled to get results in-front of their own fans.
Venezia have lost each of their last 4 home league matches and conceding goals has been a problem. Venezia have failed to keep a clean sheet at home this season and have conceded 2 or more goals in 6 of their 7 most recent home Serie B fixtures.
The one plus point for Venezia at home this season has been their ability to score and they have found the back of the net at least once in 4 of their last 5 home league games.
Ternana make the trip to the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo on the back of a 3-1 defeat at Pisa last weekend. It was a disappointing result for Ternana against a team below them in the table and Pisa were 3-0 up inside the first 40 minutes of the match. Ternana managed to get one goal back but could not recover from a bad start.
That result means Ternana have failed to win any of their 5 most recent competitive fixtures, all of which have come in Serie B. There have been defeats against Genoa at home and Pisa away plus draws with SPAL and Brescia at home and Bari away.
Away form in the league shows Ternana are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 matches. They have picked up victories at Parma, Cittadella, and Benevento. Trends show Ternana have seen both teams score in 13 of their last 15 away Serie A games.
Team news and Venezia are without the injured duo of Denis Cheryshev and Sergio Romero. They also have doubts over the fitness of Aaron Connolly.
Ternana travel without the suspended Antonio Palumbo. Francesco Di Tacchio and Alfredo Donnarumma are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Marino Defendi, Federico Mazzarani, and Marco Capuano.
Venezia are in poor form, especially at home and Ternana will see his as an opportunity for them to get back to winning ways. We expect to see both teams find the back of the net and Ternana to come away with maximum points.
