Given the form of the two sides, it’s difficult to look beyond Salernitana for the win here. No Serie A side has collected more points over the last four matches than I Granata who have picked up ten points from a possible twelve. In contrast, I Leoni Ałati have struggled on their travels recently and have picked up three points from their last six Serie A matches on the road.

Match Preview
The Garnets welcome Venezia to the Stadio Arechi on Thursday for this Serie A match. US Salernitana won the previous match between the sides 1-2 in Venice back in October. This extended their run of consecutive wins in this head to head to four matches, in all competitions.
US Salernitana come into the match in their best run of form this season on a run of four league games undefeated. They have picked up 10 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
I Granata shared the points in their last league match away to Atalanta BC. Expected goals of 1.5 to 1.4 in favour of Atalanta indicates both teams probably deserved only a point. Éderson's first-half goal from a set-piece looked like it would actually win the game until a late Atalanta equaliser meant it was only enough to secure a point for Salernitana. Éderson now has two league goals this season for Salernitana and is 12/1 to get the game’s opening goal again here. The final score of the match was 1-1.
Their opponent on Thursday, Venezia, come into the match on a run of 10 league games without a win. They have picked up zero points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
The Winged Lions lost their last league match away to Juventus Turin. Expected goals of 2.3 to 0.7 in favour of Juventus indicates perhaps it was a fair result. Mattia Aramu thought he might snatch an unlikely away point here with his 70th-minute goal only for Juventus to re-establish their lead just minutes later. Aramu now has six league goals this season for Venezia and is 4.5/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 2-1.

US Salernitana team news
Matteo Ruggeri was replaced midway through the second half due to injury. While the extent of the injury isn’t yet known, it is unlikely he will be involved again just a couple of days after the Atalanta match and will likely be replaced by Riccardo Gagliolo in defence.
Franck Ribéry (muscle fatigue), Joel Obi (calf injury), Luca Ranieri (muscule injury), and Mamadou Coulibaly (muscle injury) will also be unavailable for The Garnets due to injury on Thursday. They may also look to make a few unforced changes to the side who drew against Atalanta BC in their last league match to keep players fresh with such a short recovery time between games at the moment.
Venezia team news
Antonio Junior Vacca was withdrawn before halftime against Juve due to injury. Luca Fiordilino will be hoping to take his place from the start here. Injuries will also rule out Tyronne Ebuehi (hamstring injury), Luca Lezzerini (patella rupture), Sergio Romero (knee surgery), and Marco Modolo (knee surgery) for the trip to the Stadio Arechi.
Additionally, they may look to shuffle some of their deck voluntarily having lost against Juventus Turin in their last league match.
