Venezia vs Inter Milan Match Summary
Competition | Italian Serie A |
|---|---|
Match Date | Wednesday 28 October 2026 |
Match Time | 17:30 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Venice, Pier Luigi Penzo |
Venezia vs Inter Milan pits the bottom side in Serie A against the division's most prolific attack, and the visitors arrive at the Pier Luigi Penzo as heavy favourites.
Venezia are rooted to the foot of the table after Sunday's narrow defeat at Genoa. Nicola's side have lost seven of their opening eight Serie A matches, and that tells its own story.
Inter arrive buoyant after a stunning comeback against Fiorentina on Sunday, with Marcus Thuram and Piotr Zielinski both striking deep into stoppage time to seal a 2-1 win.
History offers Venezia precious little comfort. Inter have won their last five matches against Venezia in all competitions, and nothing about the current table suggests that run is about to end.
Venezia vs Inter Milan Form
Venezia have lost 9 of their last 10 matches in Serie A, and the defeat at Genoa left them bottom of the pile. The one bright spot was a home win over Napoli, settled by an Akor Adams goal after Davide Nicola took charge. Adams and John Yeboah carry the attack, but the defence keeps leaking.
Inter are unbeaten in their last 18 matches in Serie A, and the late show against Fiorentina showed a side that refuses to fold. An Inter win has landed in 7 of their last 10 matches against all opponents. Attacking down the wings is a real weapon, so Federico Dimarco and Spence should enjoy themselves out wide.

Venezia
The probable Venezia vs Inter Milan lineups have Nicola setting up in a 3-5-2, with Stanković in goal behind Juan Jesus, Moreno and Halhal. Haps and Hainaut provide the width either side of Bašić, Sohm and Kike Pérez, while Yeboah and Akor Adams lead the line. Busio is back from injury and could force his way in. Franjić, Adorante and Bella-Kotchap are sidelined, and Correia is a late fitness doubt.
Inter Milan
Cristian Chivu is set to match Venezia's 3-5-2, with Provedel in goal and rotation in defence. Akanji is rested, so Bastoni moves into the centre between Bisseck and Carlos Augusto. Çalhanoğlu drops to the bench, leaving Barella, Zieliński and Sučić in the engine room with Spence and Dimarco on the flanks. Thuram is likely rested, which hands Bonny and Pio Esposito a start up top. Lautaro Martínez, Pavard and Luis Henrique are out, while Stones and Jones face late fitness tests.

Venezia vs Inter Milan Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Inter to win comfortably, with Venezia grabbing a consolation along the way. Inter are projected to score about three times. Venezia's projection sits just above a goal, so this looks an open game rather than a shutout. Inter are 2/5 with Coral in the Venezia vs Inter Milan betting odds, and our Venezia vs Inter Milan prediction is a convincing away win with goals at both ends.
Best Bets
Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Inter are projected to score about 3 goals against a Venezia side that has lost 9 of its last 10 in Serie A. The projected total of 4.21 goals sits comfortably above the line, and this is the standout angle in the fixture. There have been over 2.5 goals in Inter's last 6 games in Serie A, and Venezia's leaky back three has done little to suggest it can keep a lid on things.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Venezia should get at least one goal at home, and Inter's attack is expected to score as well. The projections put both teams scoring at 66.49%, which fits a high-scoring game. Inter are without Lautaro Martínez and rotating, yet still score freely, while Venezia's best weapon on the counter gives them a route to a goal of their own, which is what this second of our Venezia vs Inter Milan best bets is built around.
Venezia vs Inter Milan Bet Builder
Our Venezia vs Inter Milan bet builder tips combine three legs: Marcus Thuram to score anytime, Inter over 1.5 goals and Akor Adams over 3.5 shots.
Thuram may be rested from the start, which makes this the leg with most risk, but he has scored in 3 of his last 3 Serie A appearances.
Inter have scored 2+ goals in 6 of their last 6 Serie A matches, and the bottom side's defence struggles to stop opponents creating openings in front of goal.
Adams has attempted 4+ shots in 4 of his last 5 Serie A appearances. He is Venezia's focal point on the break and will get the ball in shooting areas.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 21/4 and is as short as 15/4 elsewhere.

Venezia vs Inter Milan Talking Points
Chivu's rotation makes sense with the Derby della Madonnina against AC Milan coming up next weekend, which explains Thuram, Çalhanoğlu and Akanji stepping aside. Even so, Inter have the league's most prolific attack with 23 goals, and Bonny and Pio Esposito get a lovely stage against the worst side in the division. The one caveat for goals backers is that Venezia have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 home matches against Inter in all competitions. With this Inter attack and this Venezia defence, we're happy to back the goals anyway.
