LiontipsVerona vs Venice Prediction (Odds 3.35) and Bets for the Serie A Match on October 4, 2024
Command Analysis
Current Form
During the summer, Verona underwent another significant overhaul. Last season, the team experienced this process twice, yet Marco Baroni managed to keep them in Serie A, which earned him a promotion. The revamped Verona is now under the guidance of Paolo Zanetti, who faces the same challenge as his predecessor: to ensure the club remains in the top flight by the end of the season.
At the start of the season, it is not surprising that Verona is struggling with consistency. In their opening match, they secured an impressive 3-0 victory over Napoli, but followed that with a 3-0 defeat against Juventus in Turin. So far, the Mastiffs have shown commendable performances and undoubtedly have the potential to improve.
In their most recent match, Verona lost 4-2 to Como away from home. The game proved to be dramatic; had Tomas Sucalo not received a red card in the 64th minute, it’s feasible they could have salvaged a point. Nevertheless, this third consecutive defeat dropped Verona to 14th place in the standings, with only a slim one-point cushion above the relegation zone.
Suspensions and Injuries
Sucalo is suspended. Injuries include Serdar, Harroui, and Cruz.

Current Form
Venezia fought hard to secure their spot in Serie A through a fierce playoff last season, finishing the championship in early June. The team was unable to fully transition to top-flight competition, with a new coach coming in and several transfer deals falling through, leaving the core of the squad comprised of players who earned promotion from Serie B.
Given these circumstances, Venezia has struggled at the start of the season, consistently dropping points. In six matches, they managed to shine on two occasions: in the second round, Eusebio Di Francesco's team secured a commendable goalless draw against Fiorentina, and in their fifth match at home, they achieved a 2-0 victory over Genoa. This win remains their only one in both the league and the cup so far.
In their latest fixture, Venezia put up a strong fight against Roma at the Olimpico. The orange-black-green squad dominated the first half, but ultimately lacked the quality to maintain their lead. Unfortunately, after conceding twice in the second half, Venezia could not rally back and lost 2-1. This defeat keeps them rooted at 19th place in the standings, just one point shy of the crucial 17th position.
Injuries and Suspensions
Bjarkason remains sidelined due to injury.

2.25Tip and bets
Verona, having faced three consecutive losses, is determined to secure a victory in their home clash against a direct rival. Despite a series of setbacks, the Mastiffs are showing promising form in attack and consistently find the back of the net. The visitors’ defense should not pose a significant problem for them. On the other hand, Venezia has been taking risks in recent matches and will adopt an aggressive stance upfront today, making an exchange of goals highly likely.
We anticipate goals in this match. Our prediction is both teams to score. This bet is offered at odds of 1.89.
Betting on the Outcome
Verona is experiencing inconsistency, which can be attributed to the team's summer overhaul. Achieving the necessary cohesion among players in just six matches is a formidable challenge. Venice, while more cohesive, falls short in player quality compared to Verona. However, under the guidance of Eusebio Di Francesco, there is promising potential for growth. Neither team holds a significant edge in any area, making a draw a likely outcome, which would likely be satisfactory for both sides.
