Latest team news for Venezia vs AS Roma
Due to having to rotate the squad between the midweek cup match and the Europa League play-off against Porto next week, manager Claudio Ranieri may make a few changes on Sunday.
Artem Dovbyk could return to the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Bryan Cristante and captain Lorenzo Pellegrini are also likely to be trusted, especially with central midfielder Manu Kone serving a suspension.
Defender Gianluca Mancini has returned after being suspended for Giallorossi's Coppa Italia quarter-final defeat. New signings Devyne Rensch, Lucas Gourna-Douath, and Anass Salah-Eddine are also included in the squad.
Venezia has had a busy winter transfer window. The team recently lost their top scorer, Joel Pohjanpalo, to Palermo – an ambitious team in Serie B. New signing Daniel Fila will compete with John Yeboah and Christian Gytkjaer for the Finnish striker's place.
Lagunari's list of absentees still includes names like Michael Svoboda, Marin Sverko, Richie Sagrado, Alfred Duncan, and Domen Crnigoj. Now, that list has an important new addition.
First-choice goalkeeper Filip Stankovic (on loan from Inter and who has impressed since taking over) will be sidelined until next month. Therefore, Ionut Radu will replace him in goal.

Latest football match prediction: Venezia vs AS Roma
With the Europa League being their last chance to win a title this season, Roma's Coppa Italia campaign ended on Wednesday after a 1-3 defeat to AC Milan at San Siro.
Trailing by two goals before halftime – both scored by Tammy Abraham (a Roma player) – the capital team managed to pull one back through Artem Dovbyk, but were ultimately eliminated in the quarter-finals.
Interim manager Claudio Ranieri, who will lead his childhood club until the end of the season, has had a successful return to the dugout. He has guided the struggling team to ninth place in Serie A and secured qualification for the next round of the Europa League.
Last week, Ranieri's men held league leaders Napoli to a 1-1 draw in the Derby del Sole. Leonardo Spinazzola (a former Roma player) opened the scoring, before Angelino (who replaced him at left-back) equalized.
The Giallorossi are unbeaten in their last seven Serie A matches, after losing seven of their previous nine. Since Ranieri's return, only Inter Milan have scored more goals than Roma.
Despite having their best unbeaten run since 2022 (under Jose Mourinho), they have only won one away game all season.
That rare victory came against Udinese at the end of January. Before that, Roma had gone through a streak of 13 consecutive away matches without a win.
After losing 1-2 in the first leg back in September (conceding two goals in the second half after taking the lead at Stadio Olimpico), Venezia are in desperate need of an upset win this weekend.
Having yet to win a match in 2025, Lagunari are five points behind safety, having already completed more than half of their campaign to return to Italy's top league.
The situation might have been different if Venezia hadn't dropped more points from a leading position than any other club in the top five European leagues (a total of 27 points).
This statistic was compiled after the match in which Arancioneroverdi successfully came back from being 2-0 down away at Udinese (inspired by a superb free-kick from free-kick specialist Hans Nicolussi Caviglia - who has scored 3 goals from outside the box this season).
Nevertheless, they suffered a 2-3 defeat against Udinese, extending their poor away record. Venezia have yet to win an away game.
However, coach Eusebio Di Francesco (a former player and coach of Roma) has seen his team lose only 1 of their last 5 matches at Stadio Penzo. Their next two visitors are teams from the capital, Rome and Lazio.
