Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Venezia Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals – 1.83
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Venezia 0 Goals Handicap – 1.83
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Under 10 Corners – 1.57
Venezia Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
Venezia have five wins this season, while Genoa won once and drew 12 times. This justifies the fact that Genoa have an 8% chance to win this match. In addition, all previous six Venezia games saw under 3.5 goals, while in Genoa’s five of their last eight games the same number of goals were scored.
Venezia 0 Goals Handicap
With their last win away to Torino, Venezia registered their fifth win of the season in Serie A. Moreover, against the current bottom six teams, the Winged Lions covered the 0 handicap three out of five times.
Under 10 Corners
This match is expected to be very tense and a closed one and most of the time the action will be in midfield. Moreover, Venezia have an average of 3.08 corners awarded per home match. Genoa are awarded on average 3.23 corners when playing on the road. Thus under ten corners is a very probable outcome in Venice on Sunday.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Venezia vs Genoa
When teams who are in the bottom four positions play each other, a lot can be decided concerning their survival in Serie A. To illustrate, Venezia have 21 points at 17th position while Genoa are 19th with 15. Hence, a win for Venezia will make things very hard for the Rossoblu.
Venezia coach Paolo Zanetti will work on his team’s last win in Torino and raise morale. however, it will be key for the Winged Lions to strengthen their defense as they conceded ten goals in their last five home games and have no clean sheets in their last ten games in Venice.
It’s a do-or-die game for Genoa as the Rossoblu have no other choice than to win on Sunday if they want to catch their opponents. With just one win all season, Genoa have not performed on a level worthy of a place among the top flight and even changed two managers during the season.
Having the second-worst attack and defense in Serie A isn’t helping coach Alexander Blessin. The German took charge of Genoa at the beginning of this year and is still looking for his first win. He surely doesn’t want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Shevchenko who was sacked without winning any match.
Venezia vs Genoa Prediction
The result of this match can have a huge impact on the destiny of Venezia and Genoa. Consequently, we predict a very close match with Genoa playing to win while Venezia may settle for a draw. As a result, we predict a draw is the closest result after the ninety minutes are over.
Safe Bet
In the last time these two met, there were no goals in the second half. Moreover, Genoa were not able to score any goal in the second half of their last seven games. The same applies to Venezia’s three of their last five games. To summarize, we predict 0 or 1 goal in the second half and with odds of 1.60, we consider it as our safe bet.
Quick Rich
This could be another match where both coaches will focus on defense as their main target is not to lose. Therefore we might see a goalless stalemate at the end of this one especially with their weak offensive presence in the current campaign.
