Napoli travel to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo to face Venezia in Serie A

Napoli travel to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo to face Venezia in Serie A on Sunday morning, hoping for three points that would keep them firmly in the race for the Scudetto.

The visitors are currently just one point behind league leaders Inter Milan in second place, but their 2-1 win at home to Fiorentina in Serie A last time out was their first in six games, which is worrying form as they chase their second title in three seasons.

That is nothing compared to Venezia’s form though, as it is now 11 matches in the league without a win for them. Those results have left them in 19th place in the league, and five points away from safety.

Venezia have avoided defeat in their last three games though, which gives them such a small glimmer of hope when Napoli come calling. The Naples-based side are unbeaten in the previous five H2Hs though, and have won the last three without conceding.

Napoli narrowly won the reverse fixture 1-0 at home which also saw not one, but two penalties missed. Both Romelu Lukaku and Filip Stankovic were off target from the spot, with Giacomo Raspadori the only player to find the back of the net for the hosts.
