Venezia vs Fiorentina Prediction 12 May 2025
πCan Fiorentina capitalize on Venezia's crisis in this crucial Serie A Matchday 36 clash? The current form of both teams could be decisive in this encounter. Venezia, teetering on the brink of relegation, are in desperate need of points to climb from 18th place. Their defense often appears vulnerable, and their attack has been lacking the desired impact. On the other hand, Fiorentina are comfortably mid-table and have been showing consistent performances both at home and away. Considering the head-to-head history and playing styles, a tense battle can be anticipated.
Head-to-Head
πVenezia and Fiorentina have faced off three times in official matches over the past 20 years. The head-to-head record is perfectly balanced: one win each and one draw. In the first round of the current season, the teams played to a 0-0 draw in Florence-a fiercely contested match with no goals scored, despite the hosts having a slight edge in gameplay.

The "Lagooners" are known for their organized defensive play, but they struggle significantly in terms of scoring, averaging just 0.8 goals per match. Their recent performances reflect inconsistent form, with only one win in their last 10 games. In their most recent encounter, they played out a goalless draw against Fiorentina. At home, the team rarely delights fans with exciting moments, managing just one win in their last five matches, which speaks volumes.

Latest news
Venezia
In the 35th round of Serie A, Venezia secured a 1-1 draw away against Torino. The scoring opened in the 37th minute when Kike PΓ©rez capitalized on a through ball, slotting it neatly into the near corner. In the second half, the hosts ramped up their intensity and leveled the score in the 77th minute with Nikola VlaΕ‘iΔ converting from the penalty spot. After the match, head coach Eusebio Di Francesco expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating, highlighting that such decisions often go against his team despite their quality play, particularly in the first half.
Venezia are facing some squad issues. Michael Svoboda is sidelined until the end of August due to a cruciate ligament rupture, while Ricci Sagrado's participation remains doubtful as he deals with a tendon injury.
Fiorentina
In their last outing, Fiorentina fell to Roma away with a 1-0 defeat. The only goal came in stoppage time of the first half, courtesy of a corner kick and a precise finish by Artem Dovbyk. Recently, the team also played the second leg of their Conference League semifinal against Real Betis, which ended in a 2-2 draw. However, over the two legs (3-4), the "Viola" were eliminated. The decisive ticket to the final was clinched in overtime - Abde Ezzalzouli scored the winning goal in the 97th minute. Following their exit from European competition, head coach Raffaele Palladino did not hide his disappointment. He acknowledged that the team was well-prepared but made mistakes at critical moments. Despite this, the coach praised his players' commitment and urged them to focus on Serie A, where three crucial matches remain.
Fiorentina's squad situation is far from ideal as well. Nicolo Zaniolo will miss the match due to suspension, and Danilo Cataldi is recovering from a thigh injury. Additionally, midfielder Edoardo Bove continues to have heart issues, making his appearance on the field unlikely.
β½οΈGoal Prediction
Venezia continue their fight for survival despite modest results in 2025, securing only one win but showcasing a commendable defensive performance. This has been particularly evident in matches against top-tier opponents: Venezia held Lazio, Atalanta, and Napoli to goalless draws. In their latest fixture, they were close to a victory over Torino but conceded a late penalty, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Fiorentina, on the other hand, have had an inconsistent end to the season, alternating between strong performances and lackluster displays. Considering Venezia's defensive solidity and the visitors' inconsistency, we are backing under 2.5 total goals.
π©Corner Prediction
Venezia and Fiorentina rank among the least active teams in Serie A when it comes to corners. Venezia average just 3.7 corners per match (19th in the league), while Fiorentina average 3.8 (18th). Both teams prefer to attack through the center and rarely push their plays to the flanks for crosses. Given this statistical backdrop and their overall style of play, our editorial team is betting on under 9.5 total corners.
Editorial Prediction
The hosts are treading on thin ice-Venezia have failed to win in 17 of their last 18 matches and consistently drop points even at home, where they've secured just one victory in their last nine outings. Fiorentina, on the other hand, are vying for European competition spots and need wins as the season draws to a close. Given the competitive pressure and the hosts' prolonged slump, backing Fiorentina not to lose seems a well-founded prediction.
