These Juventus vs. Venezia predictions see the Bianconeri in customary late-season form hosting a demoralised Luganari at the Allianz Stadium. Victory for Max Allegri’s side would all but mathematically guarantee a top-four finish and could even see them leapfrog Napoli into third in the Serie A table.
Juventus vs. Venezia odds
1 – Juventus to win – 1/5
2 – Under 3.5 goals scored – 8/13
3 – Paolo Dybala to score anytime – 7/2
4 – Juventus to keep a clean sheet – 3/4
5 – Juventus to win by one goal – 3/1
Juventus host Venezia on Sunday afternoon looking for their first win over the Arancioneroverdi in over 20 years. Paolo Zanetti’s side secured a draw when the sides met earlier season, however, things are not looking so positive for the Lagunari this weekend.
Venezia sit rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table and defeat at the Allianz Stadium would see them requiring six points from four games to even be in with a chance of avoiding relegation. Given that the team is currently on an eight-game losing streak, having won just five all season, it seems that Serie B beckons for the Leoni Alati.
It comes as no surprise therefore that the hosts are heavy favourites on Sunday, representing one of the safest bets in Serie A this weekend. However, the manner in which Juventus secure three points will be telling of their season. Max Allegri’s side are currently undergoing an injury crisis and look far from their prolific best.
The Bianconeri have scored two goals or fewer in their last seven games in all competitions, meaning that a bet on a low-scoring match could well pay out. Injuries to the likes of Federico Chiesa and Manuel Locatelli have been a limiting factor, but so has the slight drop-off in form of Dusan Vlahovic, who was rested from the off in Juve’s last game.
The weekend’s win over Sassuolo was earned instead by goals from Paolo Dybala and Moise Kean, both of whom are due to leave the Old Lady this summer. The Argentinian in particular has been a standout performer in recent weeks and is our tip to score anytime against Venezia.
Fortunately for Allegri’s side, while their attack has been struggling, the defence has stepped up. Given the Bianconeri’s flagging front line but resolute rearguard, a bet on the hosts to win by just one goal as they did against Sassuolo could pay off. The Juventus back line has conceded the joint second-fewest goals in the league this season and come up against the second-weakest front line in Zanetti’s side, meaning a home clean sheet could also be a solid bet.

Juventus team news
A host of injury problems for Juventus could see more makeshift solutions from Allegri. Danilo was deployed as a midfielder against Sassuolo due to the absences of Manual Locatelli, Arthur, Weston McKennie and Juan Cuadrado. Federico Chiesa also remains sidelined for the hosts, but Dusan Vlahovic is expected to return to the starting XI.
Venezia team news
Sergio Romero and Luca Lezzerini are both still sidelined, meaning third-choice goalkeeper Niki Maenpaa continues in net. Antonio Vacca, Marcolo Modolo and Tyronne Ebuehi, meanwhile, are all nearing returns. Zanetti may hand a start to Domen Crnigoj, after the midfielder scored Venezia’s only goal last weekend.
