Domestic football in Italy continues next week in the form of the Coppa Italia, with Venezia set to host Ternana on Tuesday afternoon.
Venezia beat Frosinone on penalties in their last cup game. The encounter, which ended goalless in normal time, saw the two sides score a goal each in the first half of extra time.
With no further goals scored, the game went on to penalties and the hosts emerged 8-7 winners.
Venezia failed to make it this far in the competition last season as they exited in the third round after losing to Hellas Verona. They will be looking to go further in the competition this time around.
Ternana beat Avelino on penalties in the first round of the Coppa Italia back in September. They then went on to beat Serie A side Bologna in an enthralling 5-4 victory in the next round.
Ternana exited last year's edition of the tournament in the very first round. They will now be looking to beat another top-flight opposition in a bid to advance in the competition.

Venezia vs Ternana Prediction
Venezia picked up a hard-earned point against Serie A giants Juventus in their last outing. The draw ended a run of three consecutive defeats and will come as a massive confidence booster for the hosts.
Ternana were beaten 2-0 in their last league game, ending a run of five games without defeat. The visitors are the second-highest scoring side in Serie B this season and will be looking to take that goalscoring form into the cup competition. However, we expect Ternana's cup run to end on Tuesday as Venezia secure a victory.
Prediction: Venezia 2-1 Ternana
