Venezia enter this match in a difficult period of their Serie A campaign. Their recent form has been unconvincing. In their last five league outings, they’ve managed only one win, with draws against Verona, Parma, and Empoli. These punctuate a series of disappointing results, including a 3-2 defeat away to Udinese and a narrow 0-1 loss to Inter.
In addition to poor results, Venezia are also battling injury issues. Reports from various sources reveal key defenders like Michael Svoboda and Richie Sagrado are sidelined. Domen Crnigoj and Alfred Duncan have also been ruled out for the game.
These absences have contributed to a defensive frailty that has seen Venezia concede an average of 1.65 goals per match. Coach Eusebio Di Francesco has admitted that adjustments will be necessary, tactically and in the transfer market, to address these shortcomings.
The departure of striker Joel Pohjanpalo to Palermo has left a significant void in their attacking lineup. In response, Venezia secured Daniel Fila as his replacement. Fila’s integration into the squad will be crucial for bolstering their offensive capabilities.
Kike Pérez joined from Real Valladolid, aiming to strengthen the midfield. Additionally, forward Mirko Marić was acquired on loan from Monza to enhance their attacking options.
Tactically, Di Francesco has favoured a 3-5-2 formation that relies on compact defensive organisation and quick counter-attacks. However, with the current absentees, maintaining defensive solidity while staying effective in transition will be a challenge.
Venezia predicted lineup vs Roma (3-5-2): Radu; Haps, Idzes, Cande; Zerbin, Perez, Nicolussi Caviglia, Busio, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Fila.
Roma come into this fixture in a comparatively better situation. Currently positioned around 9th in the table with 31 points, they’ve shown flashes of quality despite inconsistency.
The club’s recent form is encouraging. They won 2-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa League, tied 1-1 with Napoli, and won 2-1 away in Serie A against Udinese, all of which have boosted the squad’s confidence.
However, in their recent Coppa Italia quarter-final, Roma faced a 3-1 defeat to Milan at San Siro. Their 3-5-2 formation aimed to control the midfield, but they struggled against their press. The wing-backs were often pinned, limiting their offensive impact. The introduction of Dovbyk added a more direct threat, but it was insufficient to overcome Milan’s advantage.
In their recent 2-0 win over Frankfurt and 1-1 draw with Napoli, Roma’s pressing and quick transitional play have been evident. The team have managed to balance a solid defensive structure with dynamic attacking movements. Their ability to switch from a compact defensive setup to a rapid counterattack is a key strength.
During the Winter transfer window, Roma actively reshaped their squad with several strategic moves. They improved their defence by acquiring Danish centre-back Victor Nelsson from Galatasaray on loan, with an option to purchase. Additionally, Roma borrowed Dutch left-back Anass Salah-Eddine and French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath.
To strengthen their goalkeeping options, Pierluigi Gollini was signed from Atalanta. In terms of departures, Spanish defender Mario Hermoso was loaned to Bayer Leverkusen. Polish winger Nicola Zalewski joined Inter Milan on a six-month agreement with an option to buy.
These transactions reflect Roma’s efforts to enhance their squad depth and address key areas ahead of the second half of the season.
With no key players reportedly missing for the match, the squad is expected to field a strong XI.
Roma predicted lineup vs Venezia (3-5-2): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, Ndicka; Saelemaekers, Cristante, Paredes, Angelino; Dybala, Pellegrini; Dovbyk.
Bet hereConsidering their superior form, offensive capabilities, and Venezia’s defensive struggles, it’s reasonable to favour Roma in securing a victory on Sunday.
The prediction of a 2-1 scoreline aligns with the statistical probabilities and reflects the anticipated dynamics of the match.
Venezia have averaged approximately 3.64 corners in their favour per game while conceding around 5.93. This results in a total average of 9.57 corners per event.
Roma, on the other hand, have normalised around 4.18 per fixture, conceding approximately 4.00 corners to their opponents. This leads to a total average of 8.18 per game.
Knowing these statistics, the combined average for matches involving either team is approximately 8.88 corners per event. Given Roma’s offensive approach and Venezia’s defensive vulnerabilities, it’s plausible to anticipate a total of around eight corners this weekend.
