Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Stadio Pierluigi Penzo will host Sunday’s matinee between Venezia and AS Roma, the two teams with totally different ambitions for the remainder of the season. I Lagunari failed to win the previous six league matches and, as a result, they are still sitting in the relegation zone. Goalkeeper Filip Stankovic limped off with injury in a 3-2 loss to Udinese, with Jesse Joronen likely to step up.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, showed character in a 1-1 draw with Napoli, with left-back Angelino scoring a late equalizer to save one point. Roma are eager to revive their Champions League hopes and given Venezia’s anything but good form, we predict that Claudio Ranieri’s troops are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. The experienced Italian tactician should have a full squad to choose from for Sunday’s encounter. Both Paulo Dybala and Artem Dovbyk are in line for recalls to the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
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 two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Capitale, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world of football.
The Giallorossi (The Yellow and Reds) have won three Serie A titles (1941/1942, 1982/1983, 2000/2001), while winning nine Coppa Italia trophies. 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.
