Perugia-Venezia is a Serie B Week 18 match to be played on Monday at 20:30: odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
In the lower part of the table, almost all of them won yesterday. Spal and Como were the big winners in the away matches of Parma and Terni, the only one who lost decisively was Cosenza, overwhelmed at home by Ascoli. Perugia and Venezia, two teams still floundering in the red zone, cannot afford any missteps.
The Umbrians remain the bottom of the cadetteria, even if the shake-up that the club hoped for after the return of Castori to the bench – recalled in place of Baldini – has taken place. The Biancorossa side have picked up five points since November: not a satisfactory haul, but the turnaround is evident compared to the previous ten days, in which Perugia had scored a paltry six points out of the thirty available. On the previous day, Strizzolo and his team-mates gave Cagliari a scare (3-2), coming back from a double disadvantage in Sardinia and capitulating only 10 minutes from the end, chastened by Pavoletti. The defeat against the Rossoblù interrupted the positive mini-series that had lasted four games. The attack, which had not scored a goal since the Reggio Calabria match on 22 October, also woke up.
Perugia must now exploit the home factor to avoid being sunk at the bottom of the table, but in the post-match they will have to face a Venezia in great recovery. The lagoon players have just unblocked themselves at home (2-0 against Cosenza), a result that certifies the change of pace of the team coached by Paolo Vanoli, who took over from Javorcic during the current championship. For the arancioneroverdi three victories in the last four days.
Perugia-Venezia: the latest line-up news
Castori will try to hurt the Veneto defence by re-proposing the tandem formed by Strizzolo and Olivieri. Only bench for Di Carmine, while Matos is still unavailable, not called up along with Struna, Beghetto and Vulic.
Crnigoj
On the other side, Vanoli should field an eleven not dissimilar to the one that took the field against Cosenza last Sunday. Up front the Scandinavian pair of Pohjanpalo and Johnsen, while Cuisance, Modolo and Ullmann are absent.
The prediction
Venice have regained those certainties they had lost with the arrival of the new coach and remain one of the teams that have done better away, with 12 points won out of a total of 19. They are slight favourites against Perugia: the attack is also back on track and it would not be a surprise if the Laguna team scored two to three goals in Umbria as well.
The probable line-ups of Perugia-Venezia
- PERUGIA (3-5-2): Gori; Sgarbi, Curado, Dell’Orco; Casasola, Bartolomei, Santoro, Kouan, Lisi; Strizzolo, Olivieri.
- VENEZIA (3-5-2): Joronen; Wisniewski, Ceppitelli, Ceccaroni; Candela, Crnigoj, Tessmann, Andersen, Haps; Pohjanpalo, Johnsen.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
