Internazionale defeated Venezia 1-0 in the reverse fixture at the San Siro. Now, the Nerazzurri are looking to do the double over Venezia away from home.
Will our score prediction back the Black and Blue to win?
Venezia will welcome Inter to the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium on Sunday in Serie A. Inter are coming off a failed bid to win the Supercoppa Italiana. They were beaten by AC Milan for the trophy 3-2 earlier this week.
Inter will begin the weekend four points behind first-placed Napoli. However, the Nerazzurri have two games in hand and can overtake the Partenopei in the race for the title.
Venezia are second from the bottom of the table. They took 14 points from their 19 matches. The Winged Lions failed to win their last two Serie A matches.
Coach Eusebio Di Francesco’s team has conceded the third-most goals in the league with 32. Venezia’s attack average fewer than 1.0 goals per match. They are the fourth-lowest scoring team.
In contrast, Inter are the top scorers in Serie A, with 45 goals. The Nerazzurri are also the second-best defence. They have allowed just 15 goals to opponents.
Venezia are in good form playing at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium. They took five points from their last nine matches at home. Venezia picked up a 2-2 draw with Como, a 2-1 win over Cagliari, and a 1-1 draw with Empoli.
Inter are unbeaten on the road this season. They have an away record of 6W-2D-0L. Just five goals were conceded by the Nerazzurri in their eight road matches. They scored 24 times away from San Siro. In addition, Inter won each of their last six Serie A away games.
Inter defeated Venezia 1-0 at San Siro earlier this season. After a nil-nil draw at halftime, Lautaro Martinez broke the deadlock in the 65th minute with a goal.
The Nerazzurri could have scored more goals, having tallied 19 shots with eight hitting the target. Marcus Thuram took four of Inter’s 19 shots in the previous match.
Thuram is the team’s leading scorer. He has 12 goals. Martinez, who scored in the reverse fixture, only has six goals. His goal scoring has taken a dip this term.
Joel Pohjanpalo is Venezia’s top scorer with five goals. The Finnish striker has been a bright spot for the Winged Lions. Two of his five goals have come from the penalty spot.
Our score prediction is for Inter to do the double over Venezia 2-1. The win could take Inter closer to the title.
