Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Pierluigi Penzo will host Sunday’s Serie B game between Venezia and Sampdoria, the two teams who shared the spoils with FeralpiSalo and Bari respectively before the winter break. Venezia aim to put an extra pressure on league leaders Parma and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s encounter. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Sampdoria.
La Samp, on the other hand, are five points behind the playoffs berth. Andrea Pirlo is doing a good job with the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris outfit, but beating Venezia away from home is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Pajtim Kasami and Facundo Gonzalez are banned for the match, while all Barreca, Ferrari, Borini, and Pedrola miss out with injuries.
