AS Roma vs Venezia prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2022-05-13 21:45.
JosĂ© Mourinhoâs tears of joy after guiding Roma to their first European final in 31 years quickly turned into his usual rant at refereeing after two goals within 11 minutes condemned his side to a 2-0 Serie A (SA) loss at fellow top-six hopefuls Fiorentina. That result extended Roma's SA winless run to four games (D2, L2) – the last time they endured a longer such streak was back in January 2018 – and has raised the prospect of the âGiallorossi' missing out on European qualification altogether.
Of course winning the UEFA Europa Conference League would give Roma a route to Europe next season, but if SAâs sixth-placed side could win here and consolidate their position that would ease some of the pressure on their upcoming European final. Home comforts should help as not only are Roma unbeaten in their final home game of a campaign since 2014/15 (W5, D1), theyâve also won three of their last four SA home fixtures (D1) and kept a joint-league high ten home clean sheets this season.
Venezia travel to the capital following a thrilling 4-3 win over Bologna after they scored a winning goal beyond the 90th minute in SA for the first time since December 2001. That result halted a dire ten-game losing run and kept the Venetians clinging on, but they still sit bottom and will be relegated before kick-off if Salernitana donât lose to Empoli in Saturdayâs early game.
If Salernitana do lose then Venezia still have a survival chance but must win this match. However six consecutive away losses makes that task seem all the more impossible, although with the last five of those defeats coming by just a single-goal margin, and Veneziaâs shock 3-2 win in the reverse fixture, a defeat isnât an inevitability.
Players to watch: Lorenzo Pellegrini has given or extended Romaâs lead with seven of his last eight league goals. In contrast, Mattia Aramu has levelled the score for Venezia with his last four league goals, including in the reverse H2H.
Hot stat: No league side has picked up more yellow cards than Roma at home (47), and Venezia away (54), before this round.
