Venezia vs. Napoli 2/6/22 Serie A Soccer Pick, Predictions, and Odds

Venezia is welcoming Napoli to Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in round 24 of the Italian Serie A. Venezia is not a great team, they haven’t won any of their last 6 games, but they are somehow still outside the relegation zone. Napoli is now in 3^rd place thanks to Milan beating Inter, but that could change if they get a win here.

Venezia is one of the weakest teams in the league, on both ends, and they have scored only 20 goals while conceding 40 goals in 22 games. Thanks to a lot of weak teams at the bottom of the table in Serie A this season, Venezia might be lucky enough to stay in Serie A for at least one more season. in their last 6 games, Venezia has conceded 12 goals, while they scored only 4. Aramu and Okereke have each scored 5 goals for Venezia so far, while Henry added 4 goals. The good news for Venezia is they don’t have any injuries, and that should help them in their next few games. If not nothing else, Venezia has the prettiest jerseys this season, but unfortunately for them, that is not winning any points.

Napoli was going through a slump lately, but just before the international break, they did go on a 3-game winning streak in Serie A during which they scored 7 goals while conceding only 1. In the Coppa Italia, Napoli got knocked out by Fiorentina after the extra time. As far as the Europa League goes, Napoli is playing against Barcelona in a couple of weeks, and the first game is in Barcelona so if Napoli gets a positive result, their chances of advancing will be solid. As far as Serie A goes, Napoli is in 3^rd place, they are solid offensively with 43 scored goals, and they are now the best defensive team with only 16 conceded goals so far. Mertens has stepped up after Osimhen got hurt, and he is the leading goalscorer for Napoli with 7 goals at the moment. Osimhen, Insigne, Ruiz, and Zielinski have each added 5 goals. Insigne and Zielinski have each added 5 assists. Napoli is also getting their best defender back after the African Cup of Nations is coming to an end. I think Napoli is good enough to win the title this season, but they have been struggling with consistency so far, and that might prevent them from getting to the top.

Venezia is in terrible form, while Napoli has lost only 1 game on the road so far this season. Napoli is also in a much better form, and it would really be a shame to end their winning streak against this weak Venezia team.
