Hellas Verona vs Venezia Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The visitors will look to climb out of the relegation zone.

This weekend’s Serie A clash will witness Hellas Verona take on their arch-rivals Venezia in a high-voltage Veneto Derby. Verona have not had an ideal start to their season having lost four of their last six games, including three back-to-back defeats coming into this game. With just two wins, they have put up six points on the board and are ranked 14th on the table.

Standing in their way will be Venezia who have had an even worse season so far. The Winged Lions sit in the relegation zone with just four points in hand. They have lost four games, won one and drawn once. They find themselves in the 19th position. Venezia suffered a 2-1 defeat to AS Roma in their last match.

Players to watch 

Darko Lazović (Hellas Verona)

The Serbian has been a key figure in Verona’s attacking unit. His creativity coupled with his experience and game-reading abilities make him an essential part of Verona. With three assists and a goal, Lazovic is Verona’s highest goal contributor this season. Moreover, he has dropped in good performances against Venezia in the past and will look to continue the same.

Joel Pohjanpalo (Venezia)

The Finnish striker is Venezia’s biggest goal-scoring threat upfront. His goalscoring instincts, finishing abilities, positioning and anchor play make him a dangerous opposition to deal with. He is Venezia’s top scorer this season with two goals to his name. Joel Pohjanpalo will look to improve his goal-scoring tally come Saturday and get his team over the line.
