Venezia vs Napoli Prediction

Venezia host Napoli on 17 October 2026 at 16:00 in Serie A, a fixture that pits a side in freefall against visitors building momentum. Venezia have lost their opening six league matches, most recently falling 3-1 to Atalanta, and sacked coach Giovanni Stroppa on 13 October. The Lagunari concede 2.60 goals per game at home. Napoli won 3-0 at Frosinone and arrive with Scott McTominay back in midfield, though Alessandro Buongiorno and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa carry injury doubts. Thierry Correia's absence leaves Venezia's defence further exposed, with Richie Sagrado in line to deputise.

Form and H2H

Venezia have won one and drawn one of their last ten matches, averaging 1.40 goals for and 2.60 against at home. Napoli are 4-2-4 in their last ten away, scoring 1.80 per game and conceding 1.30. Head-to-head favours the visitors: Napoli won 2-0 in August 2021 and February 2022, then 1-0 in December 2024, with only a 0-0 draw in March 2025 breaking the pattern. Napoli's away record against Venezia shows three wins in four meetings.

Best Bet

Napoli to win at 1.71 with 1xBet. Venezia's defensive collapse and managerial instability create ideal conditions for the visitors to secure back-to-back league victories. McTominay's return strengthens Napoli's ability to control midfield and exploit the hosts' structural weaknesses.

Odds to Watch

The 1xBet 1X2 board prices Venezia at 5.04, the draw at 4.32, and Napoli at 1.71. Over 1.5 goals has returned profit over recent matches, and Napoli's attacking quality should trouble a Venezia backline that has conceded heavily at home throughout the season.
