Venezia vs Verona prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 27, 2025
One of the matches of the 22nd round of the Italian Championship will take place on Monday at the Pierluigi Penzo Stadium, where Venezia will host Verona. I suggest a bet on goals in this matchup with good chances of success.
Match preview
Eusebio Di Francesco's team drew 1-1 with Parma in the last round away. Thus, Venezia continues to struggle, failing to win 10 of their last 11 Serie A matches (4 draws, 6 losses). However, it's worth noting that in the last five league games, the team has improved defensively, conceding no more than one goal per match.
The situation in the standings remains critical — Venezia is still in second-to-last place with 15 points. Their home performance has not been impressive either. The club has failed to win 6 of their last 8 Serie A home games (2 draws, 4 losses), highlighting the team's instability even on their turf.
On the other hand, Verona suffered a crushing 0-3 home defeat to Lazio in the previous round. Paolo Zanetti's team has now lost two consecutive league matches and, for the first time this season, failed to score in three straight games. Additionally, defensive issues continue to haunt the club, as they have conceded three or more goals in nine matches this season.
Currently, Verona sits in 18th place in the standings with 19 points. The club's defensive performance has been weak, conceding 47 goals, the worst in Serie A. Their away form is even more concerning: Verona has lost 7 of their last 9 away matches in the league, underscoring their instability and lack of confidence on the road.
Probable lineups
- Venezia: Stankovic, Haps, Idzes, Candela, Ellertsson, Busio, Caviglia, Doumbia, Bjarkason, Yeboah, Pohjanpalo.
- Verona: Montipò, Ghilardi, Coppola, Livramento, Bradarić, Kastanos, Serdar, Çacıtaş, Suslov, Sarr, Tengstedt.
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the first round, Verona defeated Venezia 2-1 at home.
- Verona has beaten Venezia in 4 of their last 5 matches, remaining unbeaten.
- The "Both teams to score" bet has hit in the last 4 head-to-head meetings.
Prediction
Bookmakers slightly favor the home team, offering odds of 2.20 for Venezia's victory. Venezia almost always scores in their home matches. Similarly, Verona has failed to score in only three out of 11 matches. Our recommended bet is "Both teams to score" at odds of 1.81.
