Verona is coming into this match with a heavy trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight as well as 5 of their 6 matches this season. They have been in awful form as they have lost their last 3 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 matches, but their attack has not been bad in those. They have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 2 as well as 3 of their last 4 matches and they have found the net in all of those matches. Their defense has been awful though as they have allowed at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 5 matches, allowing at least 3 goals in 3 of those. They have also gone over 2.5 goals in all 3 of their home matches this season. They are going up against a Venezia side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches. Their defense has been awful as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches, allowing 6 goals total in that span, but their attack has been much better as they have scored 3 goals in their last 2 matches. When playing away from home, they have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 4 matches and their defense has been awful in these. They have allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 4 away matches, allowing 9 goals total in that span. Venezia only has 1 win this season but they have also played some very tough teams in the league to start. Verona is one of the weaker teams so Venezia will play a better match here and will be able to find the net on this defense. Verona has played much better at home though and Venezia has not had a good defense all season so Verona will be pushing for goals here and they will find the net. Both of these teams are going to be pushing to score as they will both view this match as one they can get 3 points from. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
