Venezia host Napoli with form heavily favouring the visitors
Venezia and Napoli meet at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo in Venice on 17 October as the Serie A season reaches its seventh matchday. The hosts arrive in need of a response after a difficult run, while Napoli will hope to build on a mixed but more productive sequence of results.
Contrasting recent form
Venezia's form reads as starkly as any side in the division: five straight defeats, with no wins and no draws to show in that spell. Napoli, by contrast, have managed two wins, a draw and two losses across their last five outings, a record that leaves them clearly ahead of their hosts heading into the fixture.
That gap in results will inevitably shape expectations around the match, with Napoli's superior recent output giving them the stronger platform going into the weekend.
History favours the visitors
The two sides have met four times since August 2021, and Napoli have lost none of those encounters. They won 2-0 in Venice in February 2022 and 2-0 at home in August 2021, before a 1-0 victory in Naples in December 2024. The most recent meeting, in March 2025, ended goalless.
That record of three wins and a draw from the past four fixtures adds further context to a meeting in which Napoli will be keen to arrest their own inconsistency, while Venezia search for a first win in six matches across all competitions.
