After winning their 3rd Scudetto in the 2022/23 season, Napoli had a terrible last season as they finished 10th, not even close to Europe. This year, the team is focused only on the domestic competitions and is once again doing well in Serie A. Right now, they are in second place with 38 points from 17 matches - just two points away from the first-placed Atalanta. Meanwhile, in the Cup, they underperformed, and Lazio eliminated them in the 1/8 Finals after a 3:1 win in Rome.
Venezia managed to return to the Italian top-flight division this year after gaining promotion last season. Still, they had to go through the playoffs, considering they finished 3rd in the regular phase. This season, they are only looking to survive somehow. For now, they are not doing a great job, as they are in 19th place with 13 points after 17 rounds. But if we take into consideration that they won five points in the last three rounds, there are definitely reasons for optimism.
Napoli vs Venezia pick: Over 2.5 goals
Napoli were really good this season at home, especially against the teams from the bottom half of the league's table. Their only losses came against first-placed Atalanta and fourth-placed Lazio. If we exclude those two losses, they won the remaining six games and have scored 12 goals. So, at least a couple of goals against Venezia is very likely.
With 30 conceded goals in 17 rounds, Venezia are the second-worst defensive team in the league. But, on the positive side, they have looked much better offensively and have scored six goals in the last three matches, even scoring two against Juventus. Additionally, Venezia are the best team in the league for this type of bet, at least away from home. There, they were over 2.5 goals in seven out of nine matches - 78%.
Considering all the above, we believe that an over 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Serie A tie.

After a 2:1 win over Genoa, coach Antonio Conte spoke to the media. He was unhappy with the team's performance in the second half, saying he did not like a single thing about the second half. "The players need to realize they must play from start to finish, with their foot on the gas at all times," the coach added.
Alessandro Buongiorno should be the only injured player who will miss the game.

Venezia team news
After a 2:1 win over Cagliari, coach Eusebio Di Francesco spoke to the media. He said it was a massive win for them, and it was worth double because it was against a team that was in front of them on the league's table. "The team has grown in awareness. We are more consistent and are enjoying this victory. We are already thinking about the next one," the coach added.
The players who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined - Michael Svoboda, Richie Sagrado, and Alfred Duncan.
