Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following a routine 3-0 win over Udinese, AS Roma will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Venezia in the Serie A round 6. The weekend triumph gave Giallorossi a confidence boost, but I Lagunari should not be written off just yet. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Artem Dovbyk, who broke the deadlock against the Zebrette, while both Alexis Saelemaekers and Enzo Le Fee continue to miss out with injuries.
Venezia, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Genoa and they managed to get one. The newcomers, though, have been struggling on the travels in the new Serie A campaign and given their poor defensive performance in a 4-0 loss at Milan, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Steinn Bjarkason remains in the recovery room, while both Alfred Duncan and Giorgio Altare are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico.

The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
