Venezia plays host to Carpi in this 19th round fixture of the Italian Serie B at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. The game takes place on Sunday.
Carpi is the 15th team in the table and has posted 16 points on the board. Their record reads 4 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses. The team scored 17 goals and conceded 30 in return.
Venezia is 12th in league standings and has 20 points against their name. The team has scored 16 times and got back 18 in return. Venezia won 5 of their games, drew 5 and lost the remaining 7.
The last match-day, Venezia lost against Pescara, on the road. At the end of regulation time, the scoreline read 1-0. Carpi lost against Livorno, at home, in their last game, and the final score was 1-4.
Venezia has always performed well against Carpi. In fact, Venezia holds an overall unbeaten record against Carpi, and at this venue, Venezia has a 100% winning record against them. To drive the point even forward, Carpi has never scored a single goal against Venezia.
On top of all this, Venezia has performed fantastically at home this year. Of their total 23 home-ties in 2018, they remained unbeaten in 19 of them. 15 wins and 4 draws.
Carpi really struggles on the road every season, and in 2018-19, it has been no different. Of their last 17 away trips, 11 were losses. This match is scripted for a Venezia win.
Carpi, along with Padova, has conceded the most goals in the league so far. And in away matches, only Padova has conceded more goals than Carpi in the entire league. This match will surely have more than 1.5 match goals.
