Venezia – Juventus

Venezia host Juventus in what promises to be a stark contrast of fortunes on the Serie A calendar. The home side sit bottom of the table, languishing in 20th place with four defeats from four games and a meagre –11 goal difference. Juventus arrive in Turin‑city in a much healthier position, eighth with seven points after two wins, a draw and a loss, and a modest +2 goal margin. The gap in points and form suggests the Black and White will be the clear favourites, yet Venezia’s desperate need for a first point could add a touch of urgency to the encounter. A positive result for Juventus would cement their push toward the top half, while any slip‑up could see them slide back into mid‑table obscurity.
