Genoa
- Both sides are in mixed form, with Genoa winning two and losing three of their last five matches, while Venezia have won one and lost four of their last five.
- Genoa are the home favorites with the bookmakers, and with a home record of one win, one draw and two defeats from four matches this season, there's good reason to believe they can keep up their strong record against Venezia.
- Daniele De Rossi has instilled a high-tempo, aggressive pressing mentality to Genoa since he took over on 6 November 2025 and the players are executing his 3-4-2-1 system to the letter.
Venezia
- Venezia have been up and down with their results, too, but Davide Nicola was only installed as coach on 14 October 2026 and his job was to calm the players and establish a structure.
- He's done that to some extent with the team settling for a 1-0 home win against Napoli last Sunday after a 3-1 defeat to Atalanta as visiting team.
Head-to-Head
- Venezia are yet to win away from home in Serie A 2026/2027 after three attempts and have conceded eight goals at an average of 2.67 per game on the road.
- In contrast, Genoa have scored only four goals in four home games, so we'll side with them in a tight, one-goal affair that could easily go to the visitors.
- Genoa lead the H2H 3-2 over Venezia in the last five meetings with no ties, although their most recent meeting was 2-0 at home to Venezia.
Key Players
- Milutin Osmajic leads the scoring for Genoa in Serie A 2026/2027 with two goals in four games, but has been the goal scorer on two of their four goals across the last five.
- Lorenzo Colombo has been their best provider with two assists in five games, but Genoa have some bite in the centre of the park, which should cause problems for Venezia's compact mid-block and wingbacks.
- Akor Adams is Venezia's top scorer with one goal in five Serie A 2026/2027 games, but has scored two of their five goals in the same period.
- Gianluca Busio has been the playmaker for the arancioneroverde with two assists in his four games.
Betting Insights
- The hosts are the favorites here at 2.08, ahead of Venezia at 3.35 and the draw at 3.45.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.9 looks a good fit for this matchup, but we're taking both teams to score as well at 1.73 because Genoa are a threat going forward and Venezia have been conceding so many away goals.
Prediction
- Both teams are currently at the wrong end of the table, with Genoa in 18th place with four points from seven games and Venezia in 20th place with three points from as many games, making this a relegation battle on Sunday afternoon.
- We feel Genoa have a good chance of winning this match because they have won their last two home games and De Rossi's proactive approach to this game should suit them at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
- Expect a tight contest where one goal could decide it, with Genoa slightly favored but Venezia able to cause problems if they take chances on the break.
