Napoli vs Venezia

Current streaks

Recent form

Napoli

Napoli have shown strong form recently, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions. The team are currently enjoying a three-match winning streak in Serie A, which has helped them secure second place in the league table with an impressive 38 points from 17 games. Despite two consecutive losses in early December, including a 3-1 defeat to Lazio in the Coppa Italia, Napoli have bounced back well. Their defensive record has been solid, with two clean sheets in their last six matches and only conceding an average of one goal per game. Offensively, they've been consistent, scoring in five out of six matches, with a notable 3-1 away victory against Udinese. The team's ability to win close matches is evident, with three of their four recent victories being decided by a single goal margin.

Venezia

Venezia have shown signs of improvement in their recent form, breaking a three-match losing streak with two draws and a win in their last three games. Despite their low position in the league table, they have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals. The team's defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 11 goals in six games and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 matches. However, Venezia have demonstrated resilience, managing to score in five of their last six games, including a notable 2-2 draw against Juventus. Their recent 2-1 victory over Cagliari could potentially mark a turning point in their season, although they still face an uphill battle to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Napoli

Napoli have shown mixed form at home recently, with a run of four consecutive wins interrupted by two losses in their last three matches. Despite their high league position, their goal-scoring has been relatively modest, averaging just over one goal per game in their last six home fixtures. Defensively, they've been solid, keeping three clean sheets and conceding less than a goal per game on average. The 3-1 victory over Como stands out as the highest-scoring match in this period. Interestingly, Napoli have struggled to find the back of the net in their most recent home games, failing to score against both Lazio and Atalanta. The trend towards low-scoring affairs is evident, with four of the six matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals, reflecting the 67% rate of under 2.5 goals in their recent home form.

Venezia

Venezia have been struggling in their away fixtures, failing to secure a single victory in their last six outings. The team's poor form is evident in their record of four losses and two draws, with their most recent away match ending in a 2-2 draw against Juventus. Notably, Venezia have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their defensive woes, conceding an average of two goals per game, Venezia have managed to find the back of the net in four out of six matches. The team's inability to keep a clean sheet away from home has contributed to their current position of 19th in the league, highlighting their need for improvement in both defensive and offensive aspects of their game.
