Venezia Vs. AS Roma Predictions: Jay Idzes Et Al. In Pressure
JAKARTA - AS Roma tried to rise from defeat in the Coppa Italia and continued their positive trend in Serie A when they traveled to Venezia's headquarters on Sunday, February 9. Meanwhile, Venezia is still stuck in the relegation zone and desperately needs points to stay in the highest caste.
Meski Jay Idzes et al. akan bermain di Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, namun tak ada jaminan mereka bakal mengutip poin di laga ini. Sedangkan tamu lebih diunggulan, apalagi i Lupi, kini sangat fokus di Serie A.
Roma were eliminated from the Coppa Italia after losing 1-3 to AC Milan, with Tammy Abraham scoring two goals for Milan. However, in Serie A, Claudio Ranieri's side are in good form, unbeaten in the last 7 matches. They held the top scorer in the Napoli 1-1 last week, with the equalizer's goal scored by Angelino.
Roma are currently in 9th position, still competing for the European zone. However, they have only won once in this season's away game, namely against Udinese last month.
On the other hand, Venezia is in a difficult position, only picking up 5 points from the last 6 games and not winning in 2025. They also often lose points after taking the lead, with a total of 27 points missing from the winning position, the most among teams in Europe's top league.
SEE ALSO:
Venezia has just released their top scorer, Joel Pohjanpalo to Palermo, and now has to rely on Daniel Fila, John Yeboah, or Christian Gytkjaer for attack.
Roma could not play the suspended Manu Kone, while Gianluca Mancini returned from a ban on playing. Ranieri is likely to rotate as Roma will also face Porto in the Europa League next week. Artem Dovbyk, Bryan Cristante, and Lorenzo Pellegrini are likely to enter the starting XI.
In the Venezia camp, they lost several key players, including Michael Svoboda, Marin Sverko, Richie Sagrado, Alfred Duncan, and Domen Crnigoj with injuries. What's even worse, main goalkeeper Filip Stankovic is also absent until next month, so Ionut Radu will replace him.
