Serie B, Venice-Brescia: Clash-rescue in Penzo, Aye challenges Andersen-Pohjanpalo

At the beginning of the season, Venezia and Brescia had completely different ambitions compared to what today’s ratings say. Games to fight in the upper parts of the rankings, now both found themselves at the bottom, in a complete rescue battle, separated by only two points: orange-green at 29, Lombardi at 27. So today’s challenge will be a real direct clash: meeting at 14.00 Pier Luigi Penzo.

How Venice arrives

After a positive streak in the last two games, Venezia collapsed again, suffering two defeats in a row (but with the mitigating circumstance of playing against Frosinone and Bari, two straight promotion candidates). Thus, Paolo Vanoli’s formation has been pulled into the zone of play, he is now in sixteenth place in the standings with -1 from Perugia in fifteenth, the first useful position to save. As for training, the 3-5-2 scheme should be confirmed. Pohjanpalo and Andersen are in attack, and in the center of the field are Kandela, Cheryshev, Tessmann, Ellertsson and Zampano. Behind should be Carboni, Ceppitelli and Hristov in defense of Yoronen.

How Brescia Arrives

A difficult moment for Brescia too, but with the arrival of Daniele Gastaldello on the bench swallows they started scoring points again (after a difficult debut against Bari). In the last two matches, the Lombards scored the same number of points, drawing with Cittadella away and Cagliari at home. Brescia, penultimate in the standings, is now called upon to win, but obviously it will not be easy in Venice. Three deserters: Coeff, Olzer and, above all, Cistana will be absent due to injuries. In place of the latter in defense will be Mangraviti, and on the right, the classic battle between Jallow and Karacic is alive. Otherwise, the line-up seen at Cagliari should be confirmed: lone striker Aye, supported by Rodríguez and Galazzi; in the middle space for Huard, Bisoli and Van de Looi.
