These Salernitana vs. Venezia predictions look ahead to a true relegation six-pointer in Serie A on Thursday evening. The hosts look to be staging a remarkable late escape attempt from the bottom three, while the visitors could see their fate sealed with defeat. 

Salernitana vs. Venezia odds

1 – Salernitana to win – 16/19

2 – Salernitana to score first – 8/13 

3 – Milan Djuric to score anytime – 13/5 

4 – Under 3.5 goals scored – 4/11

5 – Both teams to score – 16/19

Salernitana could escape the Serie A bottom three for the first time this season should they win Thursday night’s meeting with Venezia. The Granata have put together a remarkable late-season run of form and are currently unbeaten in their last four games. 

Things are not going as well for the visitors this week, as Paolo Zanetti’s side are on a losing streak stretching back nine games. This poor spell has seen the Lagunari plummet down the Serie A table to the very bottom, while a defeat on Thursday would give Venezia just three matches to overturn a seven-point deficit. 

With the completely contrasting form of the two sides, it comes as no surprise that Salernitana are strong favourites and our tip to win Thursday’s encounter.

Salernitana came out of the traps early in their game on Monday evening and managed to shock Atalanta with an early goal on the counter-attack. While they are unlikely to enjoy space in behind against Venezia, a bet on the hosts to score first could well pay off. 

Although he might not have hit the target against La Dea, Milan Djuric has been fundamental to the Granata’s resurgence. The Bosnian forward had a slow start to the season, but has made a goal contribution in each of his side’s last three games and is favourite to score against a Venezia side that struggles to defend set pieces. 

Despite the odds stacked in their favour, the game is by no means already won for the hosts. Salernitana are in the relegation zone for a reason and a distinct lack of pace in their back three has caused issues on a number of occasions. As a result, a bet on both teams to score would account for the hosts’ poor record of keeping clean sheets. 

Finally, with so much on the line, it is worth noting that Thursday’s game is unlikely to be particularly open. None of the Granata’s last seven games have seen more than three goals, while this is the same case in the past six meetings between Salernitana and Venezia. Therefore, a bet on under 3.5 goals to be scored at the Stadio Arechi has plenty of promise.
