Ascoli vs Venezia Prediction & Preview

Preview

In a pivotal clash in the Italy Serie B, Ascoli will host Venezia at the Stadio Cino e Lillo Del Duca this coming Sunday, 07th April. As we head into the 32nd round of the season, both teams find themselves at opposite ends of the table with Ascoli fighting for survival and Venezia aiming to solidify their promotion credentials.

Massimo Carrera's Ascoli side currently occupies the 18th spot on the table with 31 points, demonstrating a mixed form over their last five matches (W1 D2 L2). Their recent outing saw them narrowly defeated by Spezia with a scoreline of 2-1 away from home. At home, they have been slightly more formidable defensively but have struggled to turn those performances into victories consistently.

On the other hand, Paolo Vanoli's Venezia is comfortably sitting in third place boasting 57 points. They come off a surprising home defeat against Reggiana (2-3), which might give Ascoli some hope. However, Venezia's overall form has been impressive (W3 L2), especially when playing away from home where they average an imposing two goals per game.

The head-to-head record between these two sides is evenly matched over their last five encounters - both teams claiming two wins each alongside one draw. However, it’s worth noting that during their last meeting earlier this season at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, Venezia emerged victorious with a convincing 3-1 win over Ascoli.

Both teams exhibit similar defensive records conceding on average just above one goal per game; however it's in offensive prowess where differences emerge - particularly in favor of Venezia who averages significantly more goals per match than their hosts.

Bet

Given both team’s recent forms and historical performance against each other along with considering how each side performs offensively and defensively – particularly noting that Venice has been potent when playing away – it makes sense to look closely at these factors while placing bets. Considering all aspects including odds values:

Recommended bet would be an Away Win for Venezia at odds of 2.1. This option not only reflects Venice’s stronger league position and better recent form but also offers good value given they are favorites going into this match-up and have demonstrated strong scoring ability especially in away games.
