Venezia vs Monza prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-04-11 13:00.
[p]Serie A’s bottom two collide on Saturday afternoon, with Venezia in must-win territory after a 1-1 draw with fellow strugglers Lecce last week extended their winless run to 14 matches (D8, L6). The Winged Lions sit five points adrift of safety as a result, and with only seven games remaining, this clash with basement boys Monza presents a huge opportunity to kickstart their survival bid.[/p]
[p]Venezia will carry strong H2H form into this clash having avoided defeat in four of the previous five H2Hs in Italy’s top two tiers this century (W3, D1), although one of the blemishes on that record came in this season’s reverse fixture (D 2-2). Home advantage should help Eusebio Di Francesco’s men on their way, as they’ve accrued 14 of their 21 Serie A points on their own turf (W3, D5, L7), 12 of which came against sides starting the round in the bottom half.[/p]
[p]While Venezia retain hope of a great escape, Monza’s 11-point gap to safety means their relegation to Serie B is all but inevitable. The Biancorossi have earned just two points from their last 11 league matches, with a 3-1 reverse to Como last week their seventh loss therein to come by a multi-goal margin. [/p]
[p]No team has lost more games (ten) or won fewer points (seven) away from home in this campaign than Alessandro Nesta’s men, who’ve conceded a league-high 32 goals on their travels. Monza have lost their last eight Serie A away matches – conceding 2+ goals each time – with the last streak of nine or more such defeats in the Italian top-flight set by Crotone en route to relegation back in 2020/21.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Three of Hans Nicolussi Caviglia’s four league goals this term came in home matches, with Venezia conceding exactly twice each time (W1, D1, L1). Keita Baldé scored Monza’s last away goal in a 3-2 loss to Inter Milan, and he also found the net on his only previous start against Venezia in 2021/22 while representing Cagliari.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Venezia haven’t conceded before half-time in their last 11 league matches.[/p]
