Cesena vs Venezia: match statistics
Venezia as the league leader with 15 wins this season demonstrates significantly better form than Cesena in 8th place. The visitors have earned 12 points in their last 5 matches (2.4 PPG) with 4 wins, while the hosts have managed only 6 points (1.2 PPG) with 2 wins. Venice dominates in terms of possession (60% vs 49%), shot accuracy (5.75 vs 4.18 on target per match), and average goals scored away (1.75 vs 1.45 for Cesena at home). The positive goal difference of both teams in their respective matches (+7 for Venice away, +5 for Cesena at home) suggests an open game, but the visitors' qualitative and form advantage points towards their victory. A draw remains a realistic option due to Venice's high percentage of draws away (42%), but the form of recent weeks (4 wins in 5 matches) indicates the visitors' advance as the most likely scenario.
