Napoli vs Venezia Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29th 2024
Napoli will host Venezia at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign. The home side have performed well this season and sit second in the league table as they look to return to the pinnacle of Italian football under new boss Antonio Conte.
They beat Genoa 2-1 in their last match, with Frank Anguissa and Amir Rrahmani getting on the scoresheet in the first half before their opponents halved the deficit early in the second. The Naples outfit have picked up 38 points from 17 matches this season and will be targeting victory in their final game of the year.
Venezia have had their struggles upon returning to the Italian top flight but have picked up important points in recent outings as they continue their push for survival. They picked up a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Cagliari last time out, with goals from Francesco Zampano and Marin Sverko handing the Lagunari their first home win over the Sardinian outfit since 2003.
The visitors sit 19th in the league table with 13 points and will be looking to add to that tally when they head to Naples on Sunday.
Napoli vs Venezia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Sunday's game will mark the 25th meeting between Napoli and Venezia. The home side have won seven of their previous matchups while the visitors have won four times, with their other 13 contests ending level.
- The two teams last faced off in a league clash back in February 2022 which the Azzurri won 2-0 to register a fourth consecutive unbeaten outing in this fixture.

- Napoli have the best defensive record in Serie A this season with a goal concession tally of 12.
Napoli vs Venezia Prediction
Napoli are on a run of back-to-back victories and have won four of their last five league matches. They have lost two of their last three home games but will fancy their chances of a positive result against significantly weaker opposition this Sunday.
Venezia's latest result ended a six-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. However, they have the worst away record in the Italian top flight this season and could lose this one.
Prediction: Napoli 2-0 Venezia
