- Venezia have failed to win 4 of their last 5 games, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats (including a 2-0 loss at AC Milan in Serie A and a 2-1 loss at Udinese in Coppa Italia).
- Fiorentina have won just 1 of their last 5, with 2 draws and 2 defeats (with consecutive losses against Roma and Frosinone).
- La Viola have yet to win away from home in Serie A 2026/2027 after 1 road game, and have yet to score an away goal.
Tight match in store at Stadio Penzo
Things are not looking up for SSC Venezia and AC Fiorentina as Serie A 2026/2027 gets underway, with the hosts sitting 18th with 0 points from 2 matches and La Viola 20th on the same points tally.
Venezia have lost 3 straight going into this, while Fiorentina have lost 2 of their last 3, and so the odds on the game look a little too close to be of much use. The visitors are 37/25 favourites over Venezia at 87/50, while the draw is 23/10.
The two clubs have had very different approaches to the game over the years, with the Arancioneroverdi pressing in waves and looking to transition quickly into attacks, while La Viola prefer to play out from the back and build from the first attack. However, with both clubs struggling, this could be a cagey affair, and it's worth looking for other angles to get some extra value out of the match.
La Viola lack bite on the road
There is certainly a decent angle to be found by backing both teams to score at 13/20, as neither club looks capable of keeping the other out right now.
Venezia have conceded 2.00 goals per-game through 1 home match in Serie A 2026/2027, but Akor Adams is a livewire up top with 3 goals in his last 5 matches as the team has scored 9 times in that run.
Fiorentina have played one away match in Serie A 2026/2027 and have scored 0 goals on the road so far.
Head-to-head points the way
Fiorentina can be a tough to get a read on sometimes, as Fabio Grosso has them playing a possession-based 4-3-3 with a strong midfield structure and organised press. Giovanni Stroppa has clearly been working on a 3-5-2 / 3-4-2-1 which presses and sits, but Venezia are the team with the edge in the head-to-head record.
Venezia beat Fiorentina 2-1 here in Serie A 2024/2025, and are unbeaten in the last 2 meetings (1 win, 1 draw). La Viola are still chasing their first Serie A 2026/2027 away win after 1 road game and have scored 0 goals on the road so far, and look vulnerable here, so take Venezia to cause an upset and take the 3 points.
