- Team form: Venezia's Serie A 2026/2027 home record is 1 win and 3 defeats. They have conceded 8 goals in 4 home fixtures at Pier Luigi Penzo.
- Away form: Internazionale Milano are unbeaten in Serie A 2026/2027 away from home (W2, D1).
Venezia can’t live with Inter
Inter have 19 points from 7 games at the top of the Serie A 2026/2027 table, while Venezia are propping up the standings in 20th spot with only 3 points from the opening seven games. There's little to suggest that the arancioneroverdi can get anything from this matchup with the 5/1 underdogs in mixed-to-poor form (W1, L4) of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
Davide Nicola has steadied the ship since taking over on 14 October 2026, but he and his players will need a smart game plan to avoid getting run over on Wednesday.
The visitors have won three of their last five (D1, L1), recovering from a 3-4 home defeat to Club Brugge in UEFA Champions League League Phase 2026/2027 to notch up a 3-1 win away to Bologna in Serie A 2026/2027 last time out.
Chivu’s Inter can dominate possession and the game
Tactical control
Inter are a much more measured team than Venezia in terms of tactics and personnel, which should make it easier for them to control this clash against a side that plays a high-tempo version of their 3-5-2 formation.
The Nerazzurri have the ball playing defenders and wing-backs to dominate possession and they can exploit gaps behind the wide defenders when the hosts over-commit in their pressing. Venezia, meanwhile, have more to offer in terms of an open, counter-punch game where their attacking wing-backs can get forward.
Betting angle
It's no surprise that Inter are 1.38 favorites to win this matchup, but the odds on an away win with over 2.5 goals (1.3) are tempting for this clash that should see the visitors assert themselves.
Lautaro to strike at Pierluigi Penzo
Indeed, the Argentine has been involved in 4 of Inter's 11 goals in the last 5 matches (4 goals) and we're taking him to punish Venezia at least once here.
He has bagged 2 in his last 5 games for the arancioneroverdi as the Nigerian is beginning to find his touch.
- Lautaro Martinez is Inter's danger man with 4 Serie A goals in 4 games so far this season.
- Akor Adams is the best bet for an anytime goal at odds-against for the hosts as he is their main threat with 1 Serie A goal in 5 games so far.
- Gianluca Busio is a solid choice to get on the scoresheet as he has been Venezia's creator-in-chief so far, providing 2 assists in 4 Serie A 2026/2027 games.
