Napoli's stronger league return and Venezia's six-match losing start make the away side the logical 1X2 lean.

Prediction

Napoli look the sensible away lean for this Serie A meeting at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. Venezia are bottom after six losses from six, while Napoli sit eighth with 10 points and arrive off a 3-0 win over Frosinone. I'm leaning to a 2-1 Napoli win, with both teams getting on the scoresheet. Here's where the numbers point below.

Here's the thing: Venezia's opening six matches have produced six defeats, five goals scored and 16 conceded. That is a difficult base from which to oppose a Napoli side that has already picked up 10 points. Venezia's latest result, a 3-1 loss at Atalanta, followed a run that included defeats to Lazio, Fiorentina, Frosinone and AC Milan. I think Napoli deserve to be favourites on the overall league returns alone, and their 3-0 home win over Frosinone last time out gives this pick a solid recent reference point.

I'm not fully sold on calling it a comfortable away win, though. Napoli's last five contain two defeats, including the 3-2 loss at Inter and a 2-1 reverse against Como, so there has been some volatility. Venezia have also scored five times across their last five matches, with two goals against Fiorentina and two at Frosinone showing they can contribute even in defeat. Napoli have conceded six across their own last five, which keeps both teams to score in play.

The 1X2 angle is still Napoli. They have a positive goal difference of four compared with Venezia's minus 11, and their 10 goals from six league matches are double Venezia's total. My preferred match script is Napoli taking control of the result without necessarily keeping a clean sheet. A 1-2 away win is the plausible score lean, making Napoli to win, BTTS yes and over 2.5 goals consistent angles rather than separate stories.

Napoli are the more convincing side to take the points, although Venezia have enough recent scoring evidence to make this less than a straightforward shutout call.
