FC Venice vs. Juventus Turin
For the 17th matchday of the Serie A, the promoted FC Venice can look forward to an absolute highlight. Juventus Turin are the guests at Pier Luigi Penzo on Friday at 18:00, with the record champions looking to continue their good form of recent weeks. The old lady had a disastrous start to the season, but has been more consistent lately and was able to work its way back up to an international place. Our prediction for this match can be found in the following Venice vs Juventus tip.
Venice have played a decent season so far after their promotion and are currently in 16th place with 15 points. This means that the Venetians are only two places away from the relegation zone, but they are also five points ahead of the first relegation place. Juventus, on the other hand, are at the other end of the table. With 27 points, the Turin team is currently in fifth place, but the gap to fourth-placed Bergamo is a whole seven points. Until the winter break, the old lady should therefore definitely score in the duels with Venice, Bologna and Caligiari in order not to completely lose touch with the Champions League places.

Venice Form & Balance Check
Venice FC have struggled with the difficulties of a promoted team so far, but are doing quite well. Even though the Venetians are in the midst of a relegation battle and have lost nine of 16 games this season, they have still been able to celebrate some successes in between. For example, the northern Italians were able to score surprising victories against established top-flight teams such as AC Florence and AS Roma. Nevertheless, the team will be asked to do everything if they want to stay in the league.
Sensational defeat against Verona
This has been evident again in recent games. The three most recent games against stronger teams were all lost. First Venice conceded a 0:2 defeat at home against Inter, then they let themselves be shot down 0:4 at Atalanta. On the last matchday, they faced Verona, who are not Champions League aspirants. Nevertheless, Venice once again came away empty-handed. A wild game ended in a 4:3 for Verona, with Venice even being 3:0 ahead at one point. But then an own goal and a red card turned the tide and Verona did the impossible and turned the game around.
Venice facts & analysis
– Rank 16 in Serie A
– Lost last game against Verona 3:4 after leading 3:0
– 3 defeats in a row
Juventus Form & Balance Check
The old lady from Turin had a weak start to the season after the big upheaval in the summer with a new coach and the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. At times, Juventus even slipped into mid-table, but recently their form has been on the rise again. The Turin team has won four of its last five league games, all of them without conceding a goal. In their last match, they won 2-0 at home against Genoa, which allowed Juventus to move up to fifth place in the league.
New confidence from CL group win?
Things are also going well in the Champions League at the moment. The group stage was a success for Juve for the most part, with first place and qualification for the round of 16 in the end. Despite the clear 0:4 defeat against Chelsea a few weeks ago, the Turin team secured group victory on the last matchday with a 1:0 win against Malmö, because Chelsea only played 3:3 against Zenit. That means Juventus have finished the preliminary round with five wins from six games and also drastically reduced their chances of facing a strong opponent in the round of 16.
Juventus facts & analysis
– 5th place in Serie A
– Last match won 1:0 against Malmö
– 3 competitive game wins in a row, always without conceding a goal
Predicted line-up – last update on 9 December 2021
Venice will have to do without Ceccaroni, who is suspended with a red card, and Okereke is also likely to miss out. On the Juventus side, the entire starting line-up should be back on the pitch after the rotation against Malmö. However, with Bonucci, De Sciglio, Bentancur, Arthur, Kean, Bernardeschi and Kulusevski, there are more than enough quality alternatives on the bench.
