Why this pick?
Our model goes with an Inter win, above all because its strength rating places Inter clearly above the Serie A average while Venezia sit bottom of the table. The strongest argument on the other side is the home setting: at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, Venezia took their only win, against Napoli. That local push does not close the gap in level, and our goal model reads the matchup the same way. Inter have won all five meetings since 2010, and across their last five matches they create markedly more big chances than they allow, while Venezia's attacking numbers sit below the league average. The call is a clear one.
Match summary
Venezia vs Inter brings Serie A leaders Inter to bottom-placed Venezia on Wednesday 28 October 2026 for Matchday 9; our result pick is an Inter win, with Inter win or draw as the double chance.
