Last season was very difficult for Verona, but they managed to improve significantly at the end of the season, which allowed them to climb to 13th place - a great result for the Blues. Immediately after the summer break, they lost to Cesena in the Italian Cup, which allows them to now focus on Serie A play without the distraction of extra tournaments. The debut of the championship turned out very well for the Mastiffs. In the three opening rounds they beat Napoli 3:0, lost to Juventus 0:3, but then defeated Genoa 2:0. That was the end of their exploits. In their last three games, they lost to Lazio - 1:2, Torino - 2:3, and Como - 2:3, dropping to 14th in the standings.

Venezia last season played in Serie B, where they finished in third place, which allowed them to make it through to the playoffs for the right to gain promotion. They passed Palermo and Cremonese, and therefore now play in the elite Italian division. So far, they have a hard time at such a high level. In six meetings they have scored only four points: they drew with Fiorentina - 0:0, and also beat Genoa - 2:0. They were close to success last weekend when they beat Roma 1:0, after which they repeatedly had chances to build on their success, but in the end they conceded twice and lost 1:2. Now Venezia are in the penultimate place in the standings.

Verona and Venezia are direct competitors in the fight for survival in the elite Italian division. Only the seventh round is underway, but it is already clear that the main aim for these teams is to stay in Serie A. So far the results are slightly better for the Yellow-Blues, who have accumulated two points more than the guests. In the upcoming clash, the hosts are the favorites. They have won the last three consecutive head-to-head meetings in the league, while Eusebio Di Francesco's men play very poorly away: in five away games this season, they lost four times and drew only once. As a result, we can bet on Verona to win.
