Venezia have not won a single league game in 6 matches and have just lost 5 in a row. Defence is their biggest problem, having conceded 16 goals in 6 matches, while Napoli lost their most recent Champions League game but before that had won 2 of 3 in the league. Venezia dominate possession with 60.2% per game over their last 10 matches, but manage only 5.3 shots on target and allow more shots on target than they produce themselves (5.8). These numbers say they hold the ball but do not create genuinely dangerous chances. Napoli have less possession (53.1%) but take 4.6 shots on target and allow only 4 shots on target per game. Their defensive-attacking balance is clearly better. This game is likely to play out with Venezia seeing more of the ball, while Napoli wait for counter-attacking moments and use their quality in the final third to decide it. If Venezia keep conceding easily as before, Napoli have a chance to pull away before half-time, and once ahead the shape of the game will tilt even further toward the visitors.
