Genoa vs Venezia Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 17 February 2025
🔊 What can we expect from the upcoming match between Genoa and Venezia? The "Griffon" no longer looks as impressive as it did at the beginning of Patrick Vieira's tenure as the head coach of the club. Eusebio Di Francesco's team hasn't tasted victory for 7 matches now. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the final match of the 25th round of Serie A, which will take place at the "Luigi Ferraris".
Head-to-Head
In the head-to-head encounters, Genoa has a slight advantage. Over the past 20 years, the teams have played 6 official matches, and in half of those cases, the "Griffins" were stronger. Venezia has won only once, and that occurred in the first round of the current season. On September 21, the "Winged Lions" secured a victory with a score of 2-0 at their home stadium.
Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Venezia

Genoa CFC Team Overview
Genoa left exclusively positive emotions during the period when Patrick Vieira just started his work at the club. The "Griffin" managed to produce a brilliant unbeaten run, which helped their advancement in the league table. However, recently the team has been collecting points less frequently, which has placed them in the twelfth position. In the previous round, Genoa drew with Torino (1-1), although based on the game performance, they didn't deserve even a single point - only 6 shots, 0.36 xG, and no chances created at the opponent's goal. Regarding the upcoming match, the participation of 4 players is in doubt, including key midfielder Milan Badelj.

Venezia FC Team Overview
Venezia continues to go winless in 2025. Over a month and a half, the team has participated in 6 matches and managed to earn only 3 points (3 draws and 3 losses). Undoubtedly, with such results, the "winged lions" still cannot escape the relegation zone, occupying the second-to-last position. Although it must be admitted that in some cases Eusebio Di Francesco's side has been unlucky. In the previous round, for example, Venezia narrowly lost to Roma (0-1), although the game was very even. Moreover, the opponent scored their only goal from a penalty, which could have been avoided. As for the upcoming match, the coaching staff will not be able to count on 5 players, including the main goalkeeper Filip Stankovic.

⚽️ Goal Prediction
Genoa and Venezia cannot boast of their attacking performance. Since the start of the championship, both teams have scored 22 goals each. After 24 rounds, only Lecce (18) and Monza (21) had worse figures. Considering that the total goals under 2.5 occurred in 6 of the last 7 matches involving Venezia, this will be our betting option. Moreover, the first-round meeting ended with a score of 0-2.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Despite Venezia showing more entertaining attacking football after the winter transfers, they still occupy one of the last places in Serie A in terms of corners earned. The team approaches the corner flag an average of 3.6 times per game, which is the worst in the league. In away matches, the numbers are even lower - 3.2 corners. Therefore, we advise you to consider a bet on Venezia's total corners under 4.5.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers have no doubt that in the upcoming clash, Genoa will celebrate victory. However, we strongly disagree with their opinion in this situation. The current Venezia is significantly different from the version of itself we saw at the beginning of the season. The club's management has been active in the transfer market, acquiring several high-class players, including Kike Perez, who immediately had a positive impact on the team's possession play and set-piece execution. In the previous two rounds of the Italian championship, the "winged lions" lost to Udinese (2-3) and Roma (0-1), although in both cases they looked no worse than their opponents and could have easily gained a total of 4 points. It is evident that the team still lacks cohesion, but with their acquisitions, results will inevitably improve. Considering that Genoa has started to experience a slight decline, a bet on Venezia to win with a handicap (+1) has a high chance of success. We wouldn't be surprised if the visitors win outright, for example, with a score of 0-2.
