On Sunday, 9 February, Roma will face Venice at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium. The two clubs are trying to achieve different goals in Serie A.
AS Venice
“The Winged Lions” are in 19th place with 16 points, five points away from the relegation zone and with 15 matches remaining in the championship. In the last Serie A match at the Stadio Bluenergi against Udinese, the team suffered a 3-2 defeat, extending its winless streak to six matches.
Venice is indebted to Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Mikael Ellertsson and Gaetano Oristano. Nicolussi Caviglia is the team’s top scorer with four goals, followed by Ellertsson and Oristano with two goals each.
This season, Venice have won three, drawn three and lost five in 11 Serie A matches on their home ground. The team is on a three-match home unbeaten run in the Italian league, which began on 4 January against Empoli.
AS Roma
In the last match of the league, Roma drew 1-1 with Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico and extended their unbeaten run to seven, remaining in ninth place with 31 points. In 23 matches, the Giallorossi have scored 34 goals and conceded 29, leaving them eight points behind sixth-placed Fiorentina in the fight for a place in the Conference League qualifiers.
The last time these teams met in Serie A, Roma won 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in September. Brian Cristante scored the first goal for the Giallorossi in the 74th minute. Niccolo Pisilli also scored. Joel Pohjanpalo scored the only goal for Venice in the 44th minute.
In the 2024/2025 season, Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk was Roma’s most productive player. He scored eight times, including four goals in the opening game.
In away games this season, Roma have won one, drawn six and lost four. The Giallorossi are currently on a three-match unbeaten run on the road. They have not lost on the road in Serie A since December 2024 against Como.
Venice Roma match prediction
The players from Venice are showing very negative results. The team has won only three matches out of 20.
“The Romans” show exactly the opposite trend, as the team from the Italian capital has almost always won, if you look at the results of the last 20 matches.
Victory of the second in 1.9
