Juventus vs Venezia prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22Β
Juventus will host Venezia at the Allianz Stadium in a Serie A matchday 35 fixture on Sunday.
The home side come into the clash off a 2-1 comeback victory away at Sassuolo. Moise Kean stepped off the bench to score the winner with two minutes to go after Paulo Dybala had drawn the Bianconeri level on the stroke of half-time.
Venezia, meanwhile, fell to a 3-1 defeat on home turf against Atalanta in their last outing. Mario Pasalic, Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel found the back of the net for La Dea.
The defeat left I Lagunari rooted to the bottom of the standings, and they are now six points away from safety. Juventus, meanwhile, sit in fourth spot on 66 points and are well-placed to claim an 11th consecutive top-four finish.

Juventus vs Venezia Prediction
Juventus are the overwhelming favourites, despite their recent home record being far from impressive. Venezia are on a seven-game losing streak and are all but certain to be relegated after just one season in the top flight.
The visitors recently parted ways with their former coach, so the arrival of a new one could give the players a bounce. However, the difference in class between the two teams is obvious, and the hosts should claim a comfortable win.
Prediction: Juventus 3-0 Venezia.
