Full Analysis
Stadio Pierluigi Penzo plays host to Venezia versus AS Roma in Serie A, Regular Season - 18. Kick-off: Wednesday 6 January 2027 at 17:30 UTC.
Form
Venezia (all games): 1W 0D 9L across 10 Serie A fixtures this term — 0.30 PPG. Last five: L W L L L. They are averaging 0.60 goals per game and conceding 2.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Venezia, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Venezia's home record at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo: 6W 0D 4L from 10 Serie A appearances (1.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 1.80 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.30 — Venezia are significantly better at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo than their overall form suggests.
AS Roma have collected 2.40 PPG across 10 Serie A outings this season: 7W 3D 0L. Last five: D W D W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.80 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for AS Roma, so this record blends games from this season and last.
AS Roma's away record: 6W 2D 2L from 10 road trips in Serie A this season (2.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.40 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home.
The travelling side arrive in better shape. AS Roma are 2.10 PPG clear of Venezia in recent Serie A fixtures (2.40 vs 0.30). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.
H2H Analysis
The head-to-head record is closely matched — Venezia lead 1W to 2W over the last 4 encounters, with 1 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.
The 4 previous meetings have averaged 2.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 9 Feb 2025, ended 0–1 with AS Roma winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading Data
Venezia goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (48 games, 24 at home): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 71% of those occasions; they lead at the break 48% of the time; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (home games).
AS Roma goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (48 games, 24 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 94% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; they lead at the break 48% of the time; BTTS occurs in 42% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Venezia 50% versus AS Roma 38%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Venezia 52% | AS Roma 44%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Venezia 0.89 xG and AS Roma 2.46 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: Venezia attack 0.627 / defence 1.129 | AS Roma attack 1.450 / defence 0.936. League average goals — home 1.522 / away 1.503. Venezia's attack strength of 0.627 is below the league average — the 0.89 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. AS Roma have an above-average attack strength of 1.450 — the away xG of 2.46 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 10 Venezia games / 48 AS Roma games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Venezia 12% | Draw 17% | AS Roma 72%. Fair-value odds: Venezia 8.33 | Draw 5.88 | AS Roma 1.39. The model has a clear lean to AS Roma (72%) — a 60pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 65% | BTTS probability 54% | Total xG 3.35. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 65% — a total xG of 3.35 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS probability of 54% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates AS Roma as the most likely outcome at 72% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.
The Poisson model projects 3.35 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 65% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.8 goals per meeting.
Poisson assigns a 54% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Venezia 30% | AS Roma 50% from recent games — a notable divergence.
