Napoli-Venezia head-to-head challenge

Napoli on the hunt for a third consecutive win, Venezia want to depart from the bottom

Last push of 2024 for Napoli and Venezia who face off at 15:00 CET at the Maradona. The hosts will be on the hunt for their third consecutive win and are fighting to contend with Atalanta to be top at the end of the year. Venezia, on the other hand, will want to pick up points in Campania after the win over Cagliari to prove that their difficult run is over.

HEAD TO HEAD

Napoli are unbeaten in their last eight Serie A games against Venezia (W5 D3), keeping a clean sheet in each of the most recent five; the last Venetian win against the Partenopei in the competition was back on 8th March 1942 (4-1). Venezia have won only one of their last 14 league matches against Napoli (between Serie A and B): 2-1 on 24th May 2003 in Serie B, with eight draws and five defeats. Napoli are unbeaten in home games against Venezia in Serie A (W4 D3); the Partenopei have kept a clean sheet in each of their three most recent home matches against the Venetians.

DID YOU KNOW?

After a streak of four consecutive defeats, Venezia are unbeaten in their last three Serie A games (W1 D2); the last time they went four consecutive games without a defeat in the competition was back in April 2000 under Francesco Oddo. Antonio Conte recorded his 150th win as a manager in Serie A in his last game against Genoa, becoming the coach with the fewest matches to reach this milestone in the history of the competition: 220, ahead of HelenioHerrera (261) and Maurizio Sarri (261).

PLAYERS

Romelu Lukaku has been involved in eight goals in his last seven Serie A matches against newly promoted sides (six goals and two assists); in addition, four of his 10 goals + assists in the current league season have arrived against these opponents. Hans Nicolussi Caviglia has scored three goals and provided two assists in the current league season: the last Venezia midfielder to score more goals in a single Serie A campaign was Fabian Natale Valtolina in 1999/2000 (four).
