Venezia vs. Fiorentina: Match Prediction
Even the support of their fans has not helped Venezia excel in attack. Eusebio Di Francesco's team has yet to score more than one goal in any of their nine home league matches in 2025, and in six of those games, they failed to score at all. Meanwhile, in 9 of their last 10 Serie A home matches, the club has not conceded more than one goal.
Fiorentina, while scoring regularly away from home, does not stand out for high-scoring performances. In their last six away league games, the team only managed to break through the opposition's defense more than once in two matches, and they failed to score against both Roma and Verona. Additionally, Fiorentina did not score in their last head-to-head encounter at Venezia in Serie A.
I do not expect many goals in this match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
