Preview
Bottom meets top. Venezia are 20th with 3 points and one win from eight games, while Inter lead Serie A on 22 points, unbeaten with seven wins and a draw. Davide Nicola's reign at Venezia began with a 1-0 win over Napoli, but they lost 1-0 at Genoa on Sunday. Venezia have scored only 0.75 goals a game at home, and Correia, Sverko, Franjic and striker Adorante are all missing. Inter needed two stoppage-time goals to beat Fiorentina 2-1 on Sunday. This is their third game in eight days, with the derby against Milan on Saturday, and Chivu has said he will keep rotating, with Provedel now sharing goalkeeping duties. Lautaro Martinez, Pavard, Stones, Curtis Jones and Luis Henrique are all out. Inter won all of the last five meetings, scoring 11 and conceding 2, with two of the five going over 2.5 goals. Inter should win, but at these short prices the odds leave no room: we rate an Inter win at 67.0% against a price of 1.38, so there is no main pick.
Inter are clear favourites, but a tight schedule and Lautaro's absence make the short prices poor value. No main pick; we rate an Inter win at 67.0%.
