The hosts are in the relegation zone for the 24th round of the Italian championship. Eusebio Di Francesco's team hasn't had much luck in the tournament so far, and they're currently in penultimate place in the standings. They're five points behind the 17th team, which is safe. With only 3 wins out of 23 league games, it'll be a real challenge for them to catch up.
In the last round, they played Udinese away and didn't get any points. They conceded two early in the second half, but got back on track with goals from Hans Nicolussi and Kristan Gutkjær in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, they couldn't hold on to the draw. Udinese scored the winning goal in the 84th minute. 2:3 – Venezia have now gone six rounds without a loss, having lost three matches in that stretch.
The previous match was played last Wednesday, by the way. At the San Siro, Claudio Ranieri's team met Milan in the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup, lost and left the tournament. Roma conceded two goals in the first half, but Dovbyk got one back in the 54th minute. However, they conceded another goal and failed 1:3.
In the last round of the championship, Roma faced Napoli at home and stopped Antonio Conte's team. The Neapolitans scored in the 30th minute and Roma didn't equalise until the 92nd minute, when Angelino scored with an excellent pass from Alexis Saelemaekers. The result was a 1:1 draw. After 23 rounds, Roma is in ninth place in Serie A and are 9 points behind the European Cup zone. Next week, the team will have a busy schedule, with the first match of the Europa League finals against Porto away next Thursday.

Expert Betting Tips
Roma's squad isn't as deep as that, and the capital team doesn't always do well in matches a few days after the previous ones. Away stats this season are also poor. We think that, since they're in a relegation battle, Venezia will be able to fight for at least a draw. We're sticking with the home team, and we're also going for goals. Both Venezia and Roma have been conceding regularly lately.
