Can Inter's winning run survive a trip to struggling Venezia?

Venezia’s fragile run at home

Venezia’s recent results have been poor: the club’s last eight matches read LWLLLWL and they head into this fixture bottom of Serie A with just three points from eight games. At home they have won once in four matches and are conceding an average of two goals per home game, leaving them vulnerable against top opposition.

What the result means

This is a clear mismatch in the standings: Inter sit second with 22 points and a +13 goal difference, while Venezia are 20th with a -11 difference. For Venezia, points are vital to arrest a slide that has seen heavy defeats and few goals; for Inter, maintaining their run of wins is about consolidating a title push and keeping pressure on the summit.

Inter’s winning surge

Inter arrive on a strong sequence — their season form is WWWWDWWW and they are unbeaten in their eight Serie A matches so far. The away numbers underline their threat: seven wins and a draw from eight fixtures overall, with 23 goals scored. That momentum gives them a clear psychological edge going to Venice, where the visitors will expect to control the match and press for a decisive result.

Recent head-to-head pattern

The recent H2H record heavily favours Inter. In the last five meetings Inter have won every game, including a 5-1 Coppa Italia victory in December 2025 and several narrow league wins. That sequence adds to Inter’s confidence and suggests Venezia have struggled historically to contain this opponent.

Availability and selection issues

Venezia will be without a group of players including A. Adorante (hernia), T. Correia (thigh), B. Franjic (shoulder) and M. Sverko (hip). Those absences limit Venezia’s attacking options and squad depth. Inter are missing several squad members as well: C. Jones, Luis Henrique, L. Martinez and B. Pavard are ruled out with thigh problems, and J. Stones is also unavailable. While Inter still possess ample firepower, the absences could influence defensive choices and rotation.

Players whose presence or absence matters

• A. Adorante (Venezia): his absence through a hernia weakens Venezia’s forward threat, meaning the hosts may struggle to convert limited chances.
• T. Correia and B. Franjic (Venezia): missing wide and defensive options reduces Venezia’s ability to contain Inter’s wide play.
• L. Martinez and B. Pavard (Inter): their thigh injuries remove experienced options from Inter’s squad and could force tactical adjustments, but Inter’s depth has sustained them so far this season.

Our prediction

PreviaXI’s model favours an Inter victory and the patterns point to a close game where Inter’s form and goalscoring edge decide matters. Venezia are scoring rarely and leaking goals at home, while Inter arrive on a sustained winning run and have been prolific on the road. Expect Inter to nick a narrow away win.
