INT
VEN
Inter eye back-to-back victories in Venezia clash.
As Inter gears up to extend their formidable unbeaten run against Venezia at the San Siro on Sunday evening, the newly promoted visitors face a daunting challenge to climb out of the relegation zone by upsetting Simone Inzaghi's high-flying side.
Inter
Inter picked ten-man Empoli apart in a 3-0 win in the midweek round of fixtures to remain in second place, two points ahead of third-placed Atalanta. This victory allowed them to return to winning ways after their thrilling 4-4 draw against the Old Lady.
With the win, Inter achieved successive away victories without conceding for the first time since February-March. Inzaghi’s side have 21 points before Sunday’s clash against Venezia and are looking to pick up back-to-back victories.
Inter are four points behind the league leaders Napoli and remain unbeaten in their last five Serie A games against Venezia (4 wins, 1 draw). They aim to extend this record before their UEFA Champions League clash against Arsenal on Wednesday.
Inzaghi's side should feel confident, given their strong home record against Venezia, having lost only one of their 13 Serie A home games against them—a defeat that dates back to April 1943. A 3-5-2 formation with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez, who recently won the Golden Foot award, is expected in attack.
Hakan Çalhanoglu is available once again, while Carlos Augusto remains ruled out for the encounter. Inter's impeccable form and history against the Winged Lions suggest they shouldn't have many worries when hosting the visitors.
Venezia
Newly promoted Venezia had endured three consecutive defeats before going unbeaten in their last two matches [LLLDW]. Their recent 3-2 victory over a ten-man Udinese was the Winged Lions’ second win of the season [2W, 2D, 6L].
This win also maintained Venezia's strong home record against Udinese in Serie A, remaining unbeaten in five of their six encounters [4W, 1D, 0L]. Currently sitting in 18th place with just 8 points, Venezia are eager for a win this weekend to climb out of the relegation zone.
However, with a match against a formidable Inter side, their chances remain slim. A surprise victory would be a significant upset. Venezia is expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, featuring Joel Pohjanpalo in attack, who scored twice from the penalty spot [41’ P., 86’ P.] against Udinese.
Venezia's manager, Eusebio Di Francesco, will have to adjust his strategy without Bjarki Bjarkason for the upcoming fixture.
