- Inter are the clear form favourites, despite a slip-up in the UEFA Champions League League Phase 2026/2027 last time out.
- Venezia's form is mixed, with just one win and four defeats in their last five in all competitions.
- Inter are unbeaten in three away Serie A 2026/2027 games (W2, D1), scoring an average of 2.00 goals-per-game.
Inter to continue their winning streak on the mainland
Serie A 2026/2027 leaders Inter (19 points from 7 games) are a long odds-on 19/50 favourites for Wednesday's game against bottom club Venezia (3 points from 7 games), and the Nerazzurri simply have to come out on top against their arancioneroverdi opponents.
The hosts have had a difficult start to the new season, and their form since coach Davide Nicola took over on 14 October 2026 looks mixed, but he has steadied the ship somewhat and will be looking for his side to play a disciplined, counter-punching style on Wednesday.
SSC Venezia have been in freefall since mid-June, and although Nicola has won one and lost four of his seven games in charge so far, there are signs that the team is adapting to his 3-5-2 system - one which emphasizes high-tempo pressing and fast vertical attacks.
Akor Adams, who came into his own late in the 2025/2026 Serie B season, has been their main attacking outlet in Serie A 2026/2027, but has bagged just one goal in five appearances so far. The Ghanaian is gradually finding his touch however, and has two strikes in his last five outings.
Gianluca Busio has been the creator-in-chief for Venezia, with two assists in four Serie A 2026/2027 outings, but the main threat comes from the visitors on Wednesday evening. Lautaro Martinez has bagged four goals in four Serie A 2026/2027 appearances, and has scored four of Inter's 11 goals in their last five matches in all competitions.
A 3-4 home defeat against Club Brugge in UEFA Champions League League Phase 2026/2027 would have hit morale, but Inter responded with a decent 3-1 victory away to Bologna last time out in Serie A 2026/2027, and should have enough quality to see off their hosts on the Italian mainland.
Cristian Chivu has got Inter playing with a central control and structure that Nicola's Venezia lack, and the ball-playing wing-backs and centre-halves are the backbone of their possession-based 3-5-2 system. If this game opens up, Chivu's side are the side most likely to expose the holes behind Venezia's wing-backs.
Venezia's home record in Serie A 2026/2027 is one win and three defeats, while they've conceded eight goals in just four games at their Pierluigi Penzo home. Inter are a vastly superior unit on paper, and are unbeaten in Serie A 2026/2027 away from home (W2, D1), averaging 2.00 goals-per-game on the road - six goals in total.
A statement away win is the most likely outcome, and the 3/10 price on over 2.5 goals is attractive, while BTTS-Yes at 12/25 also points to a lively encounter.
