Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Pierluigi Penzo will host Saturday’s football game between Venezia and Brescia, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Venezia are determined to secure automatic promotion to the Serie B, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Brescia. A man to watch in the home team will be Mattia Aramu, who scored a brace in the 2-1 win over Reggiana on Monday evening, while Lezzerini, Vacca, and Ala Myllymaki are all likely to miss the game through injuries.
Brescia, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over ten-man Cosenza. Le Rondinelle, though, have been struggling on the travels this season, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Venezia’s party at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. Both Cistana and Karacic remain on the sidelines through injuries for the visiting team.
