Seven defeats in a row, a nightmare 2022 after a good start to the season: Venice now with fire
With the knockout of Franchi against Fiorentina, Venezia set a negative record: 7 defeats in the last seven days, a negative streak that put Zanetti’s team in a really complicated classification position: third from last place with 22 points in the standings, the same as Genoa (even if Venice has a game to recover). Cagliari, which yesterday won by measure with Sassuolo, moved to +6 from the relegation zone.
A complicated second round
A very complicated second part of the season for Venezia, which in 2022 obtained only one victory in the league (last 12 February) and two draws: then only defeats, which in fact made the good of Venice in group d in vain. gone. In fact, the first part of the season had been more than positive: external successes with Empoli and Bologna, prestigious victories at Penzo against Fiorentina and Roma, an internal draw with Juventus. Many congratulations for Venice, which as a newly promoted was riding towards safety. Then something got stuck, the 5 points won in all of 2022 risked Venice in the relegation zone. And the calendar certainly does not help the Venetians: Atalanta, Juventus, Bologna and Rome, the direct clash with Cagliari on the last day and the recovery with Salernitana.
