Match Preview
Venezia enters Thursday's friendly against Vis Pesaro with an impressive record at home, having won all five of their last home matches in various competitions. In those fixtures, they have scored a total of 12 goals while conceding just 2, showcasing their defensive solidity with three clean sheets. Their most recent match was a 2-0 victory against Palermo on May 8, which extended their unbeaten streak at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. This form positions Venezia as strong favourites for the upcoming encounter, with odds of 1.09 reflecting their recent dominance.
In contrast, Vis Pesaro has struggled in their recent away matches, managing only one win in their last five. Their record includes two draws and two losses, with a total of 4 goals scored and 4 conceded. Their last outing was a disappointing 0-1 defeat against Ravenna on April 18. This inconsistency on the road presents a challenge for Vis Pesaro as they face a Venezia side that has been particularly robust at home.
Both teams will be impacted by key absences. For Venezia, Marin Šverko and Federico Tavernaro are unavailable due to injuries, while Vis Pesaro will miss Massimo Forte. The absence of these players could have implications for both teams' lineups and tactical approaches, particularly for Vis Pesaro, who will need to find a way to overcome their recent struggles away from home.
With Venezia showcasing a strong attacking output and solid defensive performance in their recent home games, the match against Vis Pesaro provides an opportunity for them to continue their positive momentum. Conversely, Vis Pesaro will seek to reverse their fortunes on the road and find form ahead of a new competitive season.
