For the past five seasons, the Nerazzurri have won their first league match of the calendar year, and they are favorites to set a new club best by making it six on the spin this weekend.

On the other hand, Venezia has been lingering within the relegation zone but in the last five matches they have secured three draws, out of which one has been against Juventus. They come into this game after a 1-1 draw against Empoli. Placed in the 19th position after 19 games – marking the season’s halfway stage – Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have collected 11 of their 14 points on home turf.

Key Players to Watch in Venezia vs Inter Milan

Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan)

When Hakan Calhanoglu isn’t playing, Nicolo Barella is likely to be a key contributor to his team’s chances. He has only scored thrice and assisted on four goals thus far. He will undoubtedly want to solidify his place in the starting lineup.

Lautaro Martinez (Inter Milan)

Even though Inter has been scoring goals at a free pace this season, Lautaro Martinez will be unhappy with his stats. The Argentine won both the Copa America Golden Boot and Serie A during his incredible 2023–24 campaign. He currently has just six goals and two assists this season. His contribution and significance to the team are not always reflected in the statistics. Simone Inzaghi will try to keep Martinez in the starting lineup to increase his goal total.

Venezia vs Inter Milan Prediction

On paper it would not be a very difficult game of Inter Milan but football is unpredictable. Venezia will look to halt Inter Milan like the way they did to Juventus while Inter will also look to take three points from this fixture to make their position strong in the league.

Predicted Score: Venezia 1-3 Inter Milan
