Venezia vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-05-24 18:45.
[p]Relegation-threatened Venezia followed up their impressive victory over Fiorentina with a disappointing 3-0 defeat last Sunday against lowly Cagliari. That means Eusebio Di Francesco’s men don’t have their fate in their own hands as they enter this final round two points from safety, and means that if they don’t want an immediate return to Serie B, Venezia must beat Juventus and hope that other results go their way.[/p]
[p]That’s easier said than done because Venezia have won just one Serie A home game this season as a pre-match outsider (D3, L6), while they have also failed to score in seven home fixtures against current top-half opposition. Perhaps there is some hope in extending their top-flight stay beyond one season, as all five of their top-flight victories have come at home (W5, D5, L8), while they scored twice in the reverse fixture to draw 2-2.[/p]
[p]Unlike their opponents, Juventus are in full control of their own destiny. That is because Igor Tudor’s men start this round in the top four, one point above Roma, after defeating Udinese 2-0 in the penultimate round. The Bianconeri simply need to win and don’t need to worry about any other results in order to return to the UEFA Champions League, after finding some decent form just at the right time.[/p]
[p]Playing on the road against bottom-five sides has not been so straightforward for Juventus so far, as the visitors have won just once in such matches (D2, L1). They have also won just two away competitive matches this calendar year (D6, L4) and are winless in their last five such outings. It’s not hard to tell where the problem lies, as Juventus scored more than once in only one of those 12 matches![/p]
[p]Players to watch: On loan from Juventus, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia has contributed to seven league goals for Venezia this term (G4, A3), with two of his three home goals opening the scoring. Juventus will hope to see Nico González on the scoresheet as each of his five goals for the Bianconeri this season came in victories, including the match opener in their two previous wins. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only five of Venezia’s 18 home matches this Serie A season produced over 2.5 total goals.[/p]
