The odds on Venezia to be relegated from the Italian Serie A have drifted out from 4/9 to 4/6 with Betfair Sportsbook, and after a gutsy win over Napoli the bookies are finally giving Venezia some breathing room.
Venezia have drifted to a best price of 4/6 with Betfair Sportsbook for Venezia to be relegated from the Italian Serie A, with three of three bookmakers easing their odds.
Akor Adams scored the only goal early in the second half as Venezia beat Napoli 1-0 for their first win of the season.
Davide Nicola won on his first outing in the dugout, only days after being appointed head coach.
Monza remain the favourites at 8/15 with Skybet, which leaves Venezia second in the betting.
Venezia went into the weekend having lost all six of their opening Serie A outings, the most recent a 3-1 defeat at Atalanta, so beating Napoli was no small thing. Davide Nicola had only just been named head coach, and his side were stubborn from the first whistle: a disciplined back three, a crowded engine room and a willingness to let Napoli have the ball while keeping them away from clear openings. When goalkeeper Filip Stankovic saved Kevin De Bruyne's second-half penalty to protect the lead Adams had given them, it felt like the night the season finally turned.
That is exactly why the price has moved. A side with no wins and no points looks like a side heading for the drop; a side with a new coach, a clean sheet and a Napoli scalp looks a lot less doomed. The bookies have pushed Venezia out from 4/9 to 4/6, and that means a real drop in the implied probability of them going down. It is one result, not a revival, but the organisation Nicola got out of this group in a matter of days is the single biggest reason to think this squad can fight.
Italian Serie A Relegation odds
Best odds on Venezia to be relegated from the Italian Serie A are 4/6 with Betfair Sportsbook. The worst is the same 4/6 with Paddy Power, with Skybet matching both, so there is no edge to be found by shopping around on Venezia right now.

Who is favourite to be relegated from the Italian Serie A?
Monza are the favourites at a best price of 8/15 with Skybet, with Venezia second-shortest at 4/6 with Betfair Sportsbook. With Venezia finally off the mark, the bookies have turned their attention to a Monza defence that keeps leaking goals, and that is the shape of the Italian Serie A odds at the bottom end of the log right now. Parma and Lecce make up the rest of the leading group, and none of the four is anywhere near safe in the market's eyes.
Monza – 8/15 with Skybet. They sit 16th, but a defence that has conceded 15 goals is why they head the betting.
Venezia – 4/6 with Betfair Sportsbook. Out from 4/9 after the Napoli win and Nicola's arrival.
Parma – 10/11 with Betfair Sportsbook. Sitting 18th, inside the relegation zone.
Lecce – 11/10 with Paddy Power. In 13th with six points, the healthiest return of this group.

How do Venezia avoid being relegated from the Italian Serie A?
Nicola has been clear that tactical organisation and squad adaptability are the foundation of this survival fight, and he has brought in his own backroom staff to drive it. That shape gets an immediate test with a trip to Genoa, followed by Inter at home, and history offers little comfort on the road: Genoa have won four of the previous meetings to Venezia's two, with no draws. Our take is simple. The drift is deserved because Venezia finally look like a side that knows what it is doing without the ball, but Monza stay favourites for a reason, and Venezia need to back up the Napoli result quickly before the market shifts back towards them.
