Arancioneroverdi can give Viola a hard time
SSC Venezia and AC Fiorentina will clash at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, Italy, on Friday, in a Serie A 2026/2027 encounter between two teams in the relegation zone.
The hosts are 18th with 0 points from 2 games, while the visitors are 20th with 0 points from 2, and both teams come into this game with some concerns.
Venezia come into this clash following a 3-game losing streak which saw them lose 2-0 in Serie A at AC Milan and 2-1 in the Coppa Italia at Udinese.
The odds suggest this is a toss-up game, with Fiorentina priced up as slight favourites at 2.48, ahead of Venezia at 2.74 and the draw at 3.3.
But this game may not be as close as the market makers make it out to be, and Venezia have some compelling reasons to take the spoils.
Firstly, they have a head-to-head edge over La Viola, beating them 2-1 in Serie A 2024/2025 and remaining unbeaten in the last 2 meetings (W1, D1).
Secondly, Venezia have found the net 9 times in their last 5 games, and in livewire Akor Adams, they have an honest and hard-working goal threat up top who has 3 goals in his last 5 appearances.
Giovanni Stroppa has made his Venezia team a real threat on the break, able to press in bursts and counter quickly with their wing-backs driving forward.
Fabio Grosso has Fiorentina set up in a very different way, with their 4-3-3 shape built around structured buildup, midfield control and disciplined pressing.
So, this should be an intriguing tactical clash, but it looks likely to be a cagey affair and the home side have the edge to pull off a small upset on the odds favourites.
Fiorentina have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5, including back-to-back defeats to Roma and Frosinone, while Venezia have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 5.
La Viola are 0 from 1 on the road in Serie A 2026/2027, failing to find the net so far, and that flat form must be factored into the bet.
An interesting angle in the match result market is both teams to score at 1.65, as neither side has been entirely convincing defensively while both have enough going forward to hurt the other.
