Juventus vs Venezia Prediction: 14/12/2024

Juventus will be missing several key players for their upcoming match, including Bremer, McKennie, Douglas Luiz, Nico Gonzalez, and substitutes Cabal and Milik. These absences have impacted their performance, although Juventus still boasts the best defense in the league. On a positive note, striker Dusan Vlahovic, who has scored six goals this season, is back to full fitness. Last weekend, Italian international Cambiaso scored the opening goal against Lecce, while Turkish forward Yildiz, with three goals and two assists this season, continues to struggle with consistency.

Venezia, on the other hand, will be without important players such as defender Zampano, midfielder Yeboah, and starting midfielder Duncan. Finnish striker Pohjanpalo, who has scored four goals this season, is expected to start, despite a recent dry spell with no goals in the past four matches. Venezia has only managed to score once in this period, and their form has been disappointing, marked by consecutive draws and defeats to teams like Bologna, Lecce, and Parma. Their defense has been particularly vulnerable, and their inability to defend leads has cost them crucial points.

Juventus, known for their disciplined tactical approach and strong finishing, is likely to capitalize on Venezia’s defensive weaknesses. With a more robust squad, Juventus will likely press high and exploit the gaps in Venezia’s defense. Given their superior quality and ability to take advantage of mistakes, Juventus should maintain control throughout the match.

Prediction

Looking at recent form, Juventus has been dominant at home, winning 10 of their last 13 home matches, as they aim to solidify their position in Serie A. Venezia, struggling away from home, has suffered seven defeats in their last 13 matches on the road, which hampers their playoff aspirations.

Prediction: Juventus 1-0 Venezia
