Venezia vs Inter Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Will the Winged-Lions get their prayers answered and find a win against a dominant Inter?

Venezia will play host to Inter Milan this Sunday in the Serie A. The Venice-based club have found itself in deep waters (pun intended) and are staring at relegation. The club have accumulated a mere 14 points in 19 matches and managed to win just three games.

Eusebio Di Francesco’s club are in 19th position just four points clear of bottom-placed Monza. While Venezia look to avoid relegation, Inter are looking to win this year’s Serie A. The club from Milan are on a five-match win streak in the Italian league and will look to keep that momentum going. More so after their recent loss against arch-rivals AC Milan in the Suppercopa Italiana finals after taking a 2-0 lead, Inter will be spurred to get their hands on the prestigious Italian league title.

Simone Inzaghi’s team are on 40 points, just one point behind second-placed Atalanta (41). While Napoli are on top with 44 points.

Kick-Off:

Sunday,12th Jan, 7:30 PM IST

Location: Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium, Venice, Italy

Form:

Venezia: D-D-W-L-D

Pohjanpalo was one of the key figures who helped Venezia reach the Serie A in 2024. Joel is known for using his height (6’1″) to good use, winning aerial duels and scoring from headers with precision. He has also played over 70 matches for Finland and scored 16 goals.

Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)

The Inter fans can heave a huge sigh of relief as Marcus Thuram will travel to Venezia amidst injury concerns. The French star had suffered a minor muscular problem against Atalanta last week. As a result, he could not be a part of the Suppercopa Italia derby clash with AC Milan which Inter unfortunately lost.

However, all that is behind now as the former Borussia Monchengladbach player has been deemed fit to play. Thuram is the top scorer this season with 12 goals and will look to prey on the weaker Venezia team
