Verona vs Venezia Prediction & Betting Tips (4 October)

Accustomed to fighting not to go down in previous years, Hellas Verona should once again struggle at the bottom of the ranking this season. Paolo Zanetti's men started the championship well, winning twice in the first 3 days. On the other hand, they have had a string of poor results since returning from the international break in September. Without really deserving, Hellas Verona lost in turn against Lazio 2-1, Torino 2-3 and promoted Como last weekend 3-2. Back in the elite this season, Venice logically expects to suffer against better-armed adversaries.

The start of the championship confirms these predictions and the promoted team now occupies 19th place in Serie A. Unable to win during the first 4 days with 1 draw and 3 defeats, the partners of Finnish striker Joel Pohjanpalo then managed to get the upper hand over Genoa 2-0. Unfortunately, they fell back at Roma last weekend following 2 goals conceded in the last quarter of an hour 2-1.

The Hellas Verona coach still deplores the withdrawals of the usual starters Serdar, Alidou and Harroui as well as the replacement striker Cruz. Furthermore, the important playmaker Suslov is suspended. The good news comes from the return from suspension of important defender Dawidowicz. Arriving at the club this summer, the Dane Tengstedt (2 goals in SA) should again start up front. Be wary all the same because the other recruit Mosquera (3 goals in SA) is proving effective. Against Como, the promising Rennes-trained winger Lambourde (18 years old) opened his goal counter.

Venice must still do without potentially starting midfielders Bjarkason and Duncan, injured. On the other hand, the important defender Altare could recover from his physical problem. Finnish international Pohjanpalo (22 goals and 5 assists in SB last year) plays a leading role in this formation. He also found the net during the last two days.
