Defensive Issues Point to Goals in Venezia Clash
Both sides enter this match on runs of three defeats that have exposed clear defensive gaps. Venezia has allowed 2.3 goals per game on average and scored nothing in its home fixtures so far. Fiorentina shows similar problems away from home, where it has yet to find the net while conceding three times each outing. Earlier meetings between the clubs have usually produced at least two goals overall. The pattern of open play stems from both teams failing to keep clean sheets in any recent outing. High concession rates continue to outweigh the low totals recorded in attack across their early fixtures.
