Venezia vs Monza prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 12, 2025
One of the matches of the 32nd round of the Italian Championship will be played on Saturday at the "Pier Luigi Penzo" arena, where the local Venezia will host Monza. I propose a bet on goals in this encounter with good chances of success.
Match preview
Under the guidance of Eusebio Di Francesco, Venezia ended their last match against Lecce in a 1:1 draw, extending their winless streak in Serie A to 14 matches (8 draws and 6 losses). Additionally, the team scored only their second goal in the last eight league matches, highlighting clear issues in finishing.
In the league table, Venezia remains in the relegation zone, sitting in 19th place with 21 points. It's worth noting that in terms of goals scored, Venezia (24) is ahead of only Lecce (22), indicating a weak attacking line. At home, the team hasn't won in their last seven Serie A matches, securing just 4 draws and suffering 3 losses.
Alessandro Nesta's charges suffered a home defeat to Como with a score of 1:3 in the last round. This continued a nightmarish series: in the last 11 league matches, Monza has only managed two draws and suffered nine defeats. The team also conceded at least three goals in two consecutive Serie A matches for the first time this season, indicating clear defensive problems.
The club's position in the league table remains critical: with 15 points, Monza is at the bottom and trails the safe 17th spot by 11 points. In terms of goals conceded, the club has the worst record after Verona (59), having conceded 55 goals. As for away matches, Monza hasn't won in their last 11 Serie A encounters, with only 2 draws and 9 losses.
