Genoa vs Venezia Prediction

Genoa come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Torino in their most recent outing Stadio Grande Torino in Turin last weekend. The home team have lifted themselves away from the bottom three and the relegation places to the middle-of-the-table with just two defeats in their 12 matches since Vieira’s appointment in November. Venezia, though, have persisted with Eusebio Di Francesco as they appear destined for an immediate return to Serie B with a 1-0 loss at home to Roma meaning they have collected just three points from their last seven matches, leaving them five points adrift ahead of the weekend. Genoa, especially with their home advantage, are firm favourites for this one.
