Athletic did not change traditions and entered the new season without any significant changes in the line-up. After seven rounds of the current season, the red-whites chalked up two wins and four draws, bringing in a total of 10 points and tenth place, where the team stopped last year. The team’s weakest link is the attack line, which has scored less than one goal on average. After a long-awaited series of two victories over Celta (1:0) and Mallorca (2:0), the Lions slowed down and gained only two points in three rounds after a draw with Atletico (0:0) and the same result on the road with Valencia (1:1). In the last game the Basques missed three points only in the sixth minute added by the referee. Alvarez, Bershish, Villaribe, Nolascoain and Sanchet, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play today.
As expected, Venezia faced problems at the start of the season. Paolo Zanetti did not manage to seriously strengthen the squad after leaving Serie B. So far, the “orange-black-green” are on the 18th line in the table, having only four points in the asset. At the same time, they lag behind the saving 17th line only due to additional indicators, having a chance to break out of the bottom of the table today. After their only 2:1 victory over Empoli in the third round, Venezia suffered two defeats in a row, unable to oppose anything against Spice (1:2) and Milan (0:2). In the last round Zanetti’s charges were also close to victory. Until the 78th minute they were losing 0:1 at home against Torino. However, thanks to a goal from Mattia, Aram managed to snatch an honorable draw from the penalty spot. More today soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
