After ending their seven-game winless streak, Venezia will host Genoa at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo on Matchday 26 of the Italian Serie A on Sunday.
The visitors, on the other hand, have not tasted victory in any of their last nine games in all competitions and will be looking to end this drought.
Venezia finally gave their fans something to cheer about by securing a 2-1 away win against Torino.
Prior to that, they were on a seven-game losing streak, drawing two and losing five during that time.
With 21 points from 24 games, Venezia are currently 18th in the Serie A standings, but one game less.
Genoa, on the other hand, were involved in a share of the spoils for the third game in a row last time out as they played out a 1-1 draw with Salernitana.
They have now failed to win any of their last nine games in all competitions, claiming five draws and losing four in that span, including a 3-1 loss to AC Milan in the Coppa Italia.
Genoa are currently second from the bottom of the table, two points above Salernitana, who have two games in hand.
