Venezia vs Napoli pre-match preview

Venezia (20th, 3 pts) host Napoli (9th, 10 pts) in the Serie A. Venezia have taken 0 points from their last 5 games (LLLLL) and Napoli 7 points from 5 (LWDWL), so Napoli arrive in clearly better form.

Our model favours Napoli at 46% to Venezia's 27%. Expected goals are 1.10 for Venezia and 1.50 for Napoli, and the most likely score is 1-1 (13%).

The model expects a tighter game than usual: Under 2.5 is 52%, while 60% of Serie A matches go over 2.5. In their last 4 meetings, Venezia didn't win any, Napoli won 3 and 1 ended level; none had over 2.5 goals.

Under 2.5 goals is the model's clearest call at 52%, which still fails about 5 times in 10.
