✍️ Match Preview

Analysis & Preview

Venezia travel to Stadio Artemio Franchi to take on Fiorentina in Serie A (matchday 27). The game is scheduled for Sunday 7 March 2027 at 17:30 UK time.

Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Fiorentina stand at 2W 3D 5L — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L L D W D. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 2.10 conceded. However, 2.10 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

Fiorentina's form when playing at home: 1W 6D 3L across their last 10 home games (0.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.90 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Across their last 10 games, Venezia have recorded 2W 0D 8L — 0.60 PPG. Last five: W L L L W. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 1.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

Venezia's away record over their last 10 away games: 1W 4D 5L (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Fiorentina at 0.90 PPG versus Venezia's 0.60. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

H2H Record

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 5 H2H matches, Fiorentina have won 2, Venezia 2, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.

The 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 11 Sep 2026, ended Fiorentina 4–2 Venezia — a Fiorentina win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading Patterns

Fiorentina in-play and half-time data (last 49 games, 24 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 27%; of the 20 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 30%; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).

Venezia in-play and half-time data (last 49 games, 24 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 73% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Fiorentina 63% versus Venezia 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Fiorentina 59% | Venezia 53%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fiorentina 1.60 xG and Venezia 1.09 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Fiorentina attack 0.920 / defence 1.226 | Venezia attack 0.617 / defence 1.151. League average goals — home 1.511 / away 1.449. Venezia's attack rating of 0.617 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.09. Fiorentina's defence rating of 1.226 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Venezia's projected output up. Data: built from Fiorentina's last 49 games and Venezia's last 11.

Result probabilities: Fiorentina 49% | Draw 25% | Venezia 26%. Fair-value odds: Fiorentina 2.04 | Draw 4.02 | Venezia 3.84. Fiorentina hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 2.70. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.70 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 53% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Fiorentina as the most likely outcome at 49% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Fiorentina offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.70 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 51% probability — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 53%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Fiorentina 60% (last 10 home games) | Venezia 50% (last 10 away games).
