Club Friendlies 1
Recent meetings have generally been closely contested. Venezia won the most recent encounter 2-1 at home in May 2025, while the reverse fixture earlier that season finished 0-0 in Florence.
Venezia team overview
Giovanni Stroppa's side have endured a difficult opening to life back in Serie A. Venezia began with a 2-0 home defeat to Lecce, followed that with another 2-0 loss at AC Milan and then suffered a 3-2 defeat away to fellow promoted side Frosinone.
There are, however, some encouraging attacking signs. Venezia managed 61% possession against Frosinone and scored twice, suggesting Stroppa's 3-5-2 system can create opportunities when the team takes the initiative. Their defensive vulnerability remains the bigger concern, with seven goals conceded in three matches.
Injury problems could further complicate matters. Armel Bella-Kotchap is a major doubt after suffering a muscular problem against Frosinone, while Toma Basic is also doubtful. Marin Sverko and Antonio Adorante are expected to remain unavailable, while Petar Franjic is out with a shoulder problem.

Fiorentina team overview
Fiorentina's start has been even more alarming. They have lost 4-0 to Roma, 3-0 to Frosinone and 2-1 to Torino, scoring just once and conceding nine goals.
The defeat to Torino proved decisive for Fabio Grosso, who was dismissed after only three Serie A matches. Paolo Vanoli has subsequently returned as head coach, having previously guided Fiorentina away from relegation danger last season. His immediate challenge is to restore defensive organisation and confidence to a side that has conceded in every league game.
Fiorentina could also be without midfielder Christ Inao Oulai, who suffered a thigh injury against Torino. Fabiano Parisi remains unavailable.

Prediction
Under 2.5 goals looks like a tempting prediction, given how poorly both teams have performed in attack during the opening weeks of the new Serie A season. Venezia have scored just two goals in their first three league matches, while Fiorentina have managed only one, with the latter failing to score in two of their three outings. Four of the last five meetings between these sides have also produced fewer than 2.5 goals.
Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals.
Three reasons we expect Under 2.5 Goals
- Under 2.5 goals has landed in four of the last five head-to-head meetings.
- Two of Venezia’s first three Serie A fixtures have also produced under 2.5 goals.
- Fiorentina have only scored once in this Serie A season so far.
