Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Napoli Win – 1.49

Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Correct Score 0-2 – 7.20
Napoli Win
There is a 64% chance for a Napoli victory while Venezia’s chances stand at 18%. Moreover, the Blues are undefeated in four games while Venezia are winless in nine outings. Another interesting fact is that Napoli have won all of their eight games against the bottom six teams.
Napoli -1 Goals Handicap
Out of 15 wins this season, Napoli covered the -1 handicap in eight. Five of those wins were over teams who are currently in the bottom six spots of the Serie A standings and two of them were on the road. Napoli are in great form and we think they can cover the -1 goals handicap against Venezia.
Correct Score 0-2 – 7.20
If this match ends in a 0-2 scoreline, your stake will be returned by 7.20 times. Napoli’s form and intention going into this match must help them achieve this scoreline. In addition, the Blues won by this scoreline three times already this season and it is very likely to be repeated on Sunday.

Our Free Prediction and Betting Tips for Venezia vs Napoli
Venezia are having a tough first season in Serie A after gaining promotion last May. In fact, the Winged Lions are one point above the relegation zone and with 15 rounds to be played, anything is possible. With a game in hand against Salernitana, Venezia will be looking to gain at least a point from Napoli and win that postponed match.
During their last eight outings, coach Paolo Zanetti’s team were able to score in seven of them despite not registering any victories. That might be a positive for Zanetti, however, the defense needs a lot of work as the opponents have been banging their goal regularly with an average of 2.78 goals per game.
Napoli took advantage of Milan’s draw in the last round to clinch the second position on goal difference. Still, the Blues are four points behind leaders Inter Milan who have played a matchless. Notably, Napoli are on a three-match winning streak and will hope the Inter vs Milan derby ends in a draw to further enhance their chances of closing the gap with Inter.
As a result, coach Spaletti is only focusing on returning from Venice with three points. Obviously, it was a horrible way to end the 2021 year when Napoli lost their lead at the top after they won just two games of their seven in November and December.
Since the beginning of the year 2022, the Blues won three and drew one collecting 13 points and staying in contention to challenge for the Scudetto. Spaletti seems to put his team back on track especially in defense as they conceded just one goal in their last three fixtures.
Venezia vs Napoli Prediction
Both teams have completely different ambitions this season, Venezia to play in the Serie A for another term while Napoli are chasing their first Scudetto since 1990. Undoubtedly, Napoli are much stronger and have all the talent in their team to overcome Venezia in this tricky fixture.
Safe Bet
Our prediction for this match Napoli to win is considered as a safe bet itself with the high probability of Napoli’s win for odds of 1.49. Still, we would like to offer another option which is Napoli to score over 0.5 goals in the first half with odds of 1.55. To Justify, the Blues scored before the interval in their last four outings and three away games.
Quick Rich
Backing Napoli to score exactly two goals has odds of 3.16 and the chances for this are quite high. To Illustrate, the Blues scored exactly two goals in nine Serie A fixtures since August. Thus we will take the chance and predict that Spaletti’s men will have similar success.
Venezia vs Napoli First Goalscorer
Dries Mertens has been very influential for Napoli this season especially in the period when Spaletti has many absences in the attack. With seven goals the Belgian is Napoli’s top scorer and was on target twice in the last four matches. We will back Mertens to be the first goalscorer in this match.
