Venezia vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips (11 September)

Venezia welcome Fiorentina to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Friday, 11 September 2026, for a Serie A 2026/2027 fixture between two sides still searching for their first points of the campaign. With kick-off set for 20:45 local time in Venice, the Lagunari face a Viola outfit that has endured an equally miserable start to the new season, making this an early relegation scrap at the wrong end of the table.

Giovanni Stroppa's Venezia squad for 2026/2027 includes goalkeeper L. Montipo, defenders A. Bella-Kotchap and J. Schingtienne, midfielders G. Busio and S. Sohm, and forward A. Rrahmani, though Marin Sverko remains unavailable through injury. The home side have suffered three straight Serie A defeats, beginning with a 3:2 loss at Frosinone and followed by a 2:0 reverse at AC Milan and a 0:2 home defeat to Lecce, leaving them desperate to exploit their historical advantage at the Pier Luigi Penzo where they have beaten Fiorentina nine times in eighteen previous meetings.

Fabio Grosso's Fiorentina squad for 2026/2027 features veteran goalkeeper David de Gea, defenders M. Pongracic and Dodo, midfielders N. Fagioli and C. Ndour, and attacking talents F. Mastantuono and M. Pellegrino, though Fabiano Parisi is sidelined through injury. The Viola's league campaign has been equally disastrous, conceding nine goals in three matches after a 4:0 opening-day thrashing at AS Roma, a humiliating 0:3 home reverse against Frosinone, and a 1:2 loss to Torino at the Artemio Franchi.

European odds for this fixture are set at approximately 2.75 for a Venezia victory, 3.40 for the draw, and 2.60 for a Fiorentina win, reflecting the unpredictable nature of a meeting between two struggling teams. Despite Venezia's impressive head-to-head record on home soil, Fiorentina's superior squad depth and the Lagunari's defensive frailties—having conceded seven goals in three outings—swing the forecast toward the visitors. Our prediction is 1:2 in favour of Fiorent
