Match announcement
Juventus
Current form
Before the start of the season, Juventus was considered a clear contender for the Scudetto along with Inter, Milan and Napoli, but so far this status has not been justified. With 27 points, Thiago Motta team occupies only sixth place in the table and is already seven points behind the leader Napoli, fourth-placed Fiorentina has moved ahead by four points, but still has a game in hand. This week, Juventus played a powerful match in the Champions League, beating Manchester City at home with a score of 2:0.

Milik, Bremer, Cabal and Gonzalez are injured.
Interesting trends for betting

Venezia
Current form
Even before the start of the season, Venezia was considered the main candidate for relegation from Serie A – so far this status has not been called into question. With nine points, Eusebio Di Francesco’s team is at the bottom of the standings, but at the same time is not in a hopeless situation – only three points are missing the saving 17th place. The situation could have been even more promising, but in the last round, Venezia was unable to beat Como at home, drawing 2:2 with the Azzurri.

2.99Tip and bets
Juventus have given a lot of effort in the Champions League this week, but the Old Lady has something to strive for in the championship, so there will clearly be no problems with motivation, and the rotation is unlikely to be large-scale. Venezia is seriously inferior in class and looks, to put it mildly, unconvincing even against the background of direct competitors in the fight for survival, it is unlikely that the visitors will be able to avoid a major defeat.
We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-1.5) for Juventus . This bet is offered with odds of 2.05
Bet on total
After three matches without a win in the championship, Juventus has fallen far behind not only the leader, but also the top four, so today it will clearly go forward with more forces from the first minutes. It is unlikely that Venezia, with its problems in defense, has a real chance to play reliably in defense, but at the same time the guests are playing adventurously, the "Old Lady" is also not perfect at its goal, an exchange of goals is very likely.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.19
Bet on corners
Juventus are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-3) on corners for Juventus. This bet is offered for 1.79
