Venezia vs. Fiorentina: Match Prediction
Even the support of their fans has not helped Venezia perform at their best in attack. Eusebio Di Francesco's side has not scored more than one goal in any of their nine home league games in 2025, failing to find the net in six of those matches. Meanwhile, in 9 of their last 10 Serie A home games, the club has not conceded more than one goal.
Fiorentina, while scoring regularly away, does not exhibit high-scoring prowess. In their last six away league matches, the team has only breached the opponent's defense more than once in two games and did not score at all against Roma and Verona. Additionally, the Florentines failed to score in their last visit to Venezia in Serie A.
I do not expect many goals in this match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
