Can Inter Continue Their Dominance in Head-to-Head Meetings With Venezia? Prediction | October 28, 2026
Venezia host Inter on October 28 in the ninth round of Serie A. The teams arrive in contrasting form, with Venezia rooted to the bottom of the table and Inter leading the championship after an unbeaten start to their league campaign. The visitors have won their last five meetings with Venezia and will look to maintain that record, while the hosts need to improve both their scoring output and defensive reliability.
Venezia
Venezia returned to Serie A after winning the previous season's Serie B title, but their start to the new campaign has been difficult. They opened with a 3–2 victory over Modena in the Coppa Italia, before suffering a run of seven consecutive defeats across all competitions. That sequence included their elimination from the cup by Udinese and a series of disappointing league results.
Venezia eventually ended the losing streak with a 1–0 win over Napoli, but they failed to build on that result, losing 1–0 to Genoa in their latest match. After eight rounds, they sit 20th in Serie A with three points from one win and seven defeats. They have scored just six goals and conceded 17.
Their home form offers limited encouragement. Venezia have played four league matches on their own ground, recording their only league victory there. Venezia have also struggled against Inter at home. They have failed to win any of their last three home meetings with the Milan club, drawing once and losing twice. Furthermore, they have failed to score in their last two home encounters with Inter.
- Possible Venezia lineup: Stankovic, Moreno, Jesus, Halhal, Hainaut, Perez, Sohm, Basic, Haps, Yeboah, Adams.
Inter
Inter arrive in strong form after winning three consecutive matches. Across their last seven games in all competitions, they have recorded five victories, one draw and one defeat. Their only loss during that period came in the Champions League, where they were beaten 4–3 by Club Brugge.
Inter responded with victories over Bologna in Serie A, Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe and Fiorentina in their latest league fixture. The win over Fiorentina required patience, as Inter secured the result late in the match.
Their European campaign has been less convincing, with three points leaving them 21st in the Champions League standings. Domestically, however, Inter have been highly consistent. After eight rounds of Serie A, Inter lead the table with seven wins and one draw, collecting 22 points, level with Lazio but ahead on goal difference, while scoring 23 goals and conceding 10.
- Possible Inter lineup: Provedel, Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni, Diouf, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Augusto, Thuram, P. Esposito.
Head-to-Head
Inter have dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning seven of the last 10 meetings, while Venezia have recorded two victories and one match ended in a draw. Inter have won their last five encounters and are unbeaten in eight consecutive meetings with Venezia. Their most recent meeting came in the Coppa Italia last year, when Inter claimed a convincing 5–1 victory.
Inter have also kept two clean sheets in their last three meetings with Venezia. The only goal they conceded during that period came in the 5–1 cup win.
Key Trends
- Venezia have lost 7 of their last 8 matches across all competitions.
- Inter are unbeaten in their first 8 Serie A matches this season.
- Inter have won their last 3 matches across all competitions.
- 8 of Inter's last 9 matches have seen over 2.5 goals.
- Inter have won their last 5 head-to-head meetings with Venezia.
- Venezia have conceded in their last 8 head-to-head meetings.
Prediction
Inter have a clear advantage heading into this fixture. They lead Serie A after eight rounds, have scored 23 goals and remain unbeaten in the league. Their recent run of three consecutive victories also provides a strong platform for this trip, while their record of five straight wins against Venezia underlines their historical advantage in this matchup. Venezia's position at the bottom of the table reflects their difficulties so far. Facing Inter's attack will put further pressure on a defence that has struggled to keep opponents out. Given the difference in league form, Inter's recent head-to-head dominance and Venezia's defensive problems, the visitors have a strong opportunity to maintain their winning run. Recommended Bet: Inter -1.5 Asian Handicap
