- Venue: Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium
Venezia will be looking to secure what will be their first win of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign when they play host to Genoa on Saturday afternoon.
After two consecutive seasons in the second division, the hosts got promoted through the playoffs to Serie and many expected them to struggle with life in the top flight. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side opened their campaign with a 3-1 defeat to Brescia in the Coppa Italia first round and have gone winless since then, losing four and drawing one of their five Serie A games played so far.
Genoa meanwhile have already tasted victory twice this season. The visitors began their campaign with a narrow 1-0 win over Reggiana in the Italian Cup and while they have registered just one win in the league, their performances have been very good. Alberto Gilardino’s side have drawn with giants like Inter and Milan, while beating Monza 1-0.
Venezia vs Genoa Betting Tips: Double Chance Genoa
Venezia are struggling both offensively and defensively at the moment. The hosts at least three goals in three of their five competitive games so far and failed to score in as many games. They enter this weekend’s fixture with a five match winless run and I fancy that run to be extended against Genoa.
Aside having been able to make things difficult to big names like Inter Milan and AS Roma, the visitors have won of the best records at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium. The visitors are unbeaten in their last four competitive meetings with Venezia at this ground, registering two wins and two draws.

Genoa team news
Genoa boss Alberto Gilardino is not expected to make wholesale changes if any to the side that was on the pitch from kickoff in the draw with Roma last time out.
The trip to Venezia this weekend will come too soon for the likes of Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Junior Messias, Fabio Miretti and David Ankeye who are all struggling with injuries.
