Genoa and Venezia meet at the Ferraris at 2pm (UK time) on Sunday with both clubs in the bottom four of Serie A table, and our Genoa vs Venezia predictions make the case for a tight, low-scoring afternoon.
Anthony Eadson’s Genoa vs Venezia predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring affair between two sides struggling near the foot of Serie A, and both of our best bets for the 2pm (UK time) kick-off lean into that theme.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Genoa to win to nil | 11/4 (BoyleSports) | Genoa are only narrow favourites, but context matters: they are at home to the division’s bottom club, a Venezia side that have lost all three away games and scored just three times on the road. Those travel struggles are compounded by history, with Venezia failing to find the net on both of their previous league visits to the Ferraris, a 2-0 defeat and a 0-0 draw. Genoa are without a clean sheet this season, so this is not without risk, but no fixture offers a better opportunity to put that right. At 11/4, a narrow Genoa win to nil appeals. |
| Milutin Osmajic to score anytime | 11/5 (Ladbrokes) | Milutin Osmajic leads Genoa’s scoring charts with three league goals and an assist from five starts, and he is the hosts’ most reliable route to goal. Venezia have conceded 16 league goals, including eight in three away defeats, and have kept only one clean sheet all season. Genoa have scored only five times, so they need their main striker firing, and Osmajic is the man most likely to take the chance when it comes. Ladbrokes have the best price at 11/5. |

How Genoa go into the game
Genoa sit 17th after a difficult start, with just one win from seven. They were beaten 2-0 at Roma last time out, a result that came hot on the heels of their only victory of the season, 2-1 at home to Fiorentina. Before that they lost 2-1 at Parma and drew 1-1 at home with Frosinone, so momentum has been in short supply.
There are clear issues at both ends. Genoa have scored only five goals in seven games and failed to find the net three times, while at the back they are yet to keep a clean sheet, a run that includes a 4-1 home defeat to Como and a 2-0 loss to Napoli. Tightening up against the division’s bottom side, rather than trading chances, looks the sensible route back to form.
How Venezia go into the game
Venezia prop up the table on three points but arrive on the back of their best result of the season, a 1-0 home win over Napoli that delivered their only clean sheet of the campaign. Before that, though, came a 3-1 defeat at Atalanta and a 2-0 home loss to Lazio, so that victory stands out as the exception rather than a turning point.
The bigger worry is their form on the road. Venezia have lost all three of their away league games this season, 2-0 at Milan, 3-2 at Frosinone and 3-1 at Atalanta, conceding eight goals and taking nothing. They have also failed to score on each of their last two Serie A visits to the Ferraris, losing 2-0 and drawing 0-0, which does little to suggest they will trouble Genoa here.

Genoa and Venezia have crossed paths just four times in Serie A, and the meetings have been as cagey as this season’s form suggests. Two finished level, the sides shared a win apiece and no game has produced more than two goals.

Genoa vs Venezia score prediction
Everything here points towards a low-scoring afternoon between two defences under pressure and two attacks misfiring. Genoa’s modest home edge and Venezia’s dismal away record just about tip it towards the hosts, but it should stay tight, and we will side with a narrow home win. Score prediction: Genoa 1-0 Venezia.
