Napoli-Venice prediction, odds, statistical analysis, matchday 18 of Serie A

Napoli wants to end 2024 with a convincing success at the Maradona against Venezia: another assault on the top for Antonio Conte who, after being eliminated from the Italian Cup, is determined not only to return to the Champions League – the minimum objective – but to the Scudetto. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Napoli-Venice scheduled for Sunday 29 December at 3pm.

NAPLES-VENICE PREDICTION ODD

—

Napoli resumed their run, after the double defeat against Lazio in the Italian Cup (elimination in the round of 16) and in the championship, winning two very delicate away matches. First the success in Udine (1-3) and then the blow at Marassi against Genoa (1-2): now Conte wants to end 2024 by beating Venezia at the Maradona and attacking the top. Having no further commitments, the Apulian coach wants to concentrate all the forces of his team in a championship race which for now also involves Atalanta and Inter who, compared to their rivals, must recover the match in Florence interrupted by Edoardo Bove’s illness.

A spin that of Naples which can allow the Azzurri to lengthen their pace with a completely new offensive formula: it is not excluded, in fact, that Conte uses both Kvara, returning from the first minute, and Neres, his natural substitute who did well in Udine and Genoa. For the bookies of the main betting sites there are no doubts about the 1X double chance, offered at 1.06 on Betway, 1.04 on Better Lottomatica, 1.02 on Snai and 1.01 on Planetwin365. The increased quota offered by Snai focuses precisely on this event, which for all new members raises the outcome of the 1X to 8.00.

DIFRANCESCO’S ATTEMPTS

Venezia is also coming off a positive streak thanks to which they left last place in the standings and got closer to the safety zone. The draws with Como and against Juve in Turin preceded the home success against Cagliari (2-1), a direct competitor for staying in Serie A. Di Francesco at Maradona will try to repeat the match against the Bianconeri Thiago Motta without giving up attacking play: we will see what countermeasures Conte will take in a match that has been missing since the 2021/22 season when the Azzurri won 2-0 both times. Venezia comes from four consecutive Over 2.5s: a hypothesis that we also propose at Maradona and which is offered at 1.59 by Betway, 1.57 by Better Lottomatica, 1.55 by Snai and PlanetWin365.
