Venezia preview: Picked up a point at Atalanta
Venezia probably weren't expected to come away with anything but another defeat when they made the trip to Atalanta last time out.
However, the visitors defended manfully during the entire 90 minutes and managed to come away with a share of the spoils courtesy of a goalless draw.
Ridgeciano Haps, Marin Sverko, Francesco Zampano, Richie Sagrado, Domen Crnigoj, Michael Svoboda and Giorgio Altare make up the long list of players that could miss the Como game through injury this weekend.
Predicted lineup: Radu (GK), Cande, Idzes, Schingtienne, Nicolussi, Perez, Busio, Ellertsson, Maric, Zerbin & Oristanio
