Goal Statistics

Venezia's defensive record is to be admired, G. Stroppa's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive Serie B games. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Mantova makes sense in this context.

Venezia have been reliable in attack of late, scoring in 13 consecutive Serie B matches. Their PG of 1.7 against Mantova on Saturday suggests they're likely to extend that run.
