"Starting with the hosts, losing their Serie A status with a whimper last season, it is no secret that Venezia have their sights fixed on securing an immediate top-flight return this time around. Last seen securing a gritty 2-1 victory away at Mondena, Giovanni Stroppa's men are widely regarded as a standout promotion contender in 2026 and the open Saturday's showdown knowing that they could move within touching distance of top spot."
"With that purple patch stemming all the way back to November 2nd, Stroppa's promotion contenders have also gained a fearsome reputation for their dominance on home soil. Last seen in Veneto securing a 2-0 victory against Monza, Saturday's hosts have won all of their previous six consecutive appearances at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo by an aggregate score of 16-1."
"As for the visitors, only making their Serie B return this season, Entella are desperate to maintain their second-tier status this time around. Opening Christmas Day with just their goal difference keeping them outside the relegation zone, the Biancocelsti are enduring what has become a worrying rut. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Suditrol last time out as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate in Liguria,"
Venezia aim for an immediate return to Serie A after relegation last season and currently sit among the promotion contenders under Giovanni Stroppa. Recent form includes a gritty 2-1 win at Mondena, a 3-0 victory over Mantova, and 16 points from their previous six Serie B matches. Venezia have won their last six home matches at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo by an aggregate 16-1, showcasing strong home dominance. Entella have returned to Serie B and are fighting to avoid relegation, surviving on goal difference while earning just one point from their last four matches.
