AS Roma vs Venezia prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-09-28 13:00.
[p]Roma have already changed managers and are now looking for a new chief executive following a tumultuous few weeks and an underwhelming start to the Serie A season which only saw them win for the first time on Sunday (D3, L1). Their 3-0 victory over Udinese came amidst more uncertainty over the club’s future as their owners prepare to take over Premier League outfit Everton.[/p]
[p]The Friedkin Group have stated that they remain committed to Roma but these are concerning times for the Giallorossi, who have also struggled for consistency in recent home league matches (W2, D1, L2). While that situation might not be helped by supporters staying away or staging protests, they were in better form in midweek when drawing 1-1 with Athletic Club here in the UEFA Europa League.[/p]
[p]Like their hosts, Venezia got off the mark on matchday five, beating Genoa 2-0 courtesy of a couple of second-half strikes that see them start the round outside of the bottom-three (W1, D1, L3). Manager Eusebio Di Francesco was delighted with the efforts of his team, one composed partly of young players he says have “no experience in this championship!”[/p]
[p]It’s set to be a steep learning curve for them, including finding a way to be competitive on the road as they haven’t won a Serie A away fixture since beating Torino in February 2022 (D2, L8). Perhaps there’s some hope as one of those draws was a 1-1 stalemate with Roma in May 2022, making it three H2Hs in a row in which they’ve avoided defeat (W1, D2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Paulo Dybala was on the scoresheet for Roma against Udinese as his trend of netting in entertaining games continued – each of his last nine goalscoring appearances for club and country were in fixtures producing over 2.5 match goals. Opponent Gianluca Busio opened the scoring against Genoa with the third club goal of his last four to arrive between the 55th and 85th minute, although only one of them came away from home.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: None of Venezia’s five league games this term produced over 10.5 corners.[/p]
