Insights:
  • Venezia have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

Venezia form and stats

Venezia's results here at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in the Serie A have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

No payout for Venezia in their previous match, an away game at Inter that ended in defeat 1-2.

Before that, Venezia drew at home versus Empoli.

The Venezia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 11 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Venezia defense is not exactly impregnable. 21 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Napoli form and stats

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 7 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Serie A.

The club members enjoyed Napoli's previous match versus Salernitana (placed 20th), a 4-1 win played at home. Attacker Mertens got a player rating of 8.85 in the game. "Man of the match" Mertens scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 20 successful passes (of 22 total).

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Bologna.

Napoli are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 21 times in 11 away games so far. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).

Head 2 Head

Napoli - Venezia 2-0 was the output when this pair of sides formerly did battle, earlier this season.
