Venezia vs Fiorentina Preview and Prediction: A Disappointing Drop of Points

Latest team news for Venezia vs Fiorentina

Fiorentina will be without Nicolo Zaniolo (suspended) and Danilo Cataldi (thigh injury). Moise Kean – the team's top scorer this season – may also be absent after sustaining an injury in the defeat against Betis. Lucas Beltran is likely to partner Albert Gudmundsson in attack.

Good news for coach Palladino is that center-back Pablo Mari will return to the starting lineup after not being included in the European Cup squad. Defender Dodo has also recovered from appendicitis surgery.

Venezia have few squad concerns. Goalkeeper Filip Stankovic is back, but Andrei Radu – his impressive replacement recently – will continue to be the starting goalkeeper. Only Richie Sagrado and Michael Svoboda are absent.

Christian Gytkjaer and Daniel Fila compete for the starting center forward position, supported by either John Yeboah or Gaetano Oristanio.

Latest football match prediction: Venezia vs Fiorentina

Fiorentina suffered a major disappointment when they lost to Real Betis in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League semi-final. Although Robin Gosens scored two headers to equalize the aggregate score and force the match into extra time, the Viola were still eliminated with an aggregate score of 4-3, missing out on a third consecutive European final.

Coach Raffaele Palladino and his team need to quickly overcome this shock and focus on the race for a European cup spot next season. They are currently behind Juventus, Bologna, and the two London clubs in the standings, with only three rounds remaining.

Previously, Fiorentina had been unbeaten in six consecutive Serie A matches, but last week's 0-1 defeat to Roma left them without control of their own destiny. Their remaining fixtures are also challenging, with away games against Venezia and Udinese, sandwiched between a derby match against Bologna.

Notably, Fiorentina were held to a 0-0 draw by Venezia in the first leg. If they want to keep their European hopes alive, they must win this return match.

Venezia, despite languishing in the relegation zone for much of the season, still have a chance of survival if they make a breakthrough in the final stages. Eusebio Di Francesco's team recently drew 1-1 with Torino and have had 10 draws in 2025 – the most in the league.

Venezia, along with Lecce and Empoli, are currently locked in a fierce battle for 17th place. They will have the advantage of playing at home in their remaining two matches – against Fiorentina and Juventus – and must make the most of it.

At Stadio Penzo, Venezia have won all four of their matches this season, most recently against Monza in April. They have also won all four of their most recent home games against Fiorentina in Serie A – a statistic that offers much hope for the home side.
