Venezia vs. Hellas Verona - prediction, free online , lineups

Venezia and Hellas Verona presents an intriguing matchup, with both teams striving for improved standings in the league. Venezia, despite a recent uptick in performance, finds itself entrenched in the relegation zone. In contrast, Hellas Verona sits just above them but has struggled defensively, conceding a significant number of goals . The historical context is also notable; Venezia has only triumphed once against Verona in their last 15 league encounters. This streak of dominance by Verona complicates Venezia's quest for points as they seek to escape relegation.

Venice's resurgence in the mid-season, having suffered only two defeats in their last seven matches, has seen the Serie B playoff winners from last season close the gap to safety, although they still trail the 17th-place team by five points.
