Genoa vs Venezia Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 25 October 2026
📢 Matchday 8 in the Italian Serie A brings a crucial showdown between two sides desperate to turn their seasons around. Genoa play host to Venezia at the iconic Luigi Ferraris, with both teams languishing near the bottom of the table. The clubs have managed just seven points combined from their opening seven fixtures, leaving their current form a major cause for concern. Which side will seize the opportunity and claim much-needed points?
Venezia rarely get the better of Genoa
📊 Genoa and Venezia have faced off seven times in recent years, with the Genoese club holding a clear advantage in their head-to-head record. The Grifoni have claimed four wins, while Venezia have managed just one victory; the remaining two encounters ended in draws. Their most recent meetings came in the 2024/25 season, when both sides secured 2-0 home wins.
Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Venezia
Genoa have yet to impress
The new Serie A season has started in disastrous fashion for Genoa. After seven rounds, the team have managed to collect just four points and sit 17th in the standings. The only reason the Grifone remain outside the relegation zone is their superior goal difference compared to Parma and Fiorentina. Despite such dismal results, the club’s management continues to put their faith in Daniele De Rossi, hoping he can turn things around.
In the previous round, Genoa suffered yet another defeat, losing 2-0 away to Roma. Of course, Roma are a class above the Ligurians, so the result itself comes as no surprise. However, it’s worth noting that due to a congested fixture list and Champions League commitments, the hosts fielded a largely rotated squad. Even under these circumstances, Genoa failed to offer any real resistance: they looked second-best throughout, struggled badly in attack, and barely troubled Roma’s defence. The defeat was fully deserved.

Venezia have snapped their losing streak
Venezia approach their upcoming clash in high spirits, even though their league position still leaves much to be desired. Until the previous round, the Lagunari were the only Serie A side yet to register a single point. That winless streak finally came to an end last weekend-and in the most dramatic fashion. Venezia stunned Napoli with a 1-0 victory, delivering one of the biggest upsets of the round.
In truth, based on their performance, the Lagunari were probably more deserving of a heavy defeat than all three points. Napoli dominated proceedings and created a host of dangerous chances. Yet Venezia capitalised on their one clear opportunity and managed to hold onto that slender lead until the final whistle. Even so, this triumph has hardly changed their standing in the table-Venezia remain rooted to the bottom, albeit now with three points to their name. Still, their situation is far from hopeless: with the bottom of the table tightly packed, they have every chance of climbing out of danger soon. A win over Genoa could even see them escape the relegation zone altogether.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
It’s hard to say anything positive about Genoa’s attacking play at the moment. Their struggles to create and convert chances have persisted since the end of last season, with no real signs of improvement. The numbers back this up: Genoa have scored no more than once in 10 of their last 11 Serie A fixtures. Even against a heavily rotated Roma side last time out, they failed to find the net. Our pick: Genoa under 1.5 goals at odds of 1.83*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Genoa not only struggle to score, but they also rarely force corners-even at home. In six of their last seven Serie A matches on their own turf, they have won no more than five corners. Given their lacklustre attacking displays and no evident progress in recent outings, it’s hard to see them significantly improving these numbers, even against Venezia. Our recommendation: Genoa under 5.5 corners at odds of 1.41*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Genoa often find themselves chasing the play and resorting to fouls to keep up with quicker opponents. This frequently leads to bookings: the Grifone have picked up at least two yellow cards in each of their last six Serie A matches. We don’t expect that trend to change here. Our tip: Genoa over 1.5 yellow cards at odds of 1.85*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Genoa head into this clash as favourites-a status that’s easy to justify. The Rossoblù boast greater Serie A experience and will have the backing of their home fans. Still, both sides have struggled to find their rhythm at the start of the season, especially in attack: Genoa have managed just five goals, while Venezia have netted six. Only Parma, with four, have been less prolific. Given the significance of this fixture, expect both teams to play cautiously and focus on minimising mistakes. Our main bet is on under 2.5 goals. The predicted scoreline: 1-1.
