The defending champions Inter Milan will look to secure their second successive victory in the league as they face 18th-placed Venezia on Sunday. The hosts will begin the weekend’s round of fixtures sitting second in the Serie A table and four points behind league leaders Napoli. This might be an opportunity for them to take advantage as Napoli face a tough game against Atalanta.
Simeone Inzaghi’s side has been inconsistent this season in their performances across all competitions but seem to get on track having won four out of their last five games. They come into this fixture after securing a 3-0 midweek victory against Empoli.
On the other hand, Venezia has started the season slowly and remains at the bottom half of the table ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. They qualified for the top flight last season and Eusebio Di Francesco replaced their manager Paolo Vanoli, who went to Torino. They come into this fixture with a morale-boosting 3-2 victory over Udinese as it was their second victory of the season.
Inter Milan Team News
Inter Milan has quite a few problems to address ahead of their game. Inzaghi would be dealing with the absentees for this one with Francesco Acerbi sidelined alongside Carlos Augusto and Hakan Calhanoglu. Acerbi and Calhanoglu are currently out with thigh problems that they sustained during their game against Roma earlier this month. Nicolo Barella and Stefan de Vrij are expected to take their place in the team respectively. Amid a packed schedule Inzaghi might also look to make use of his full squad and rotation could be on the cards. Strikers Mehdi Taremi and Marko Arnautovic could replace regular front pair Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram if necessary.
Venezia Team News
Venezia would be dealing with the absence of their crucial defender Jay Idzes, who is currently absent due to personal reasons. They also have one injury concern with the absence of Icelandic international central midfielder Bjarkar Bjarkason. Top scorer Joel Pohjanpalo is expected to lead the attack like linking up with USA international Gianloca Busio.

Key Players to Watch out in Inter Milan vs Venezia
Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)
The French Striker has been in great form in this campaign scoring seven goals and assisting two in 10 matches across all competitions. He did not score in the last two games against Empoli and Juventus but will be looking to make a mark early on in this game and continue his purple patch.
Nicolo Barella (Inter Milan)
In the absence of Hakan Calhanoglu, Nicolo Barella will be expected to play a big role in creating chances for his team. He has so far assisted two goals and found the back of the net only once. He will definitely be eyeing to cement his spot in the starting eleven.
Inter Milan vs Venezia Prediction
They could be fifty-fifty considering the inconsistency that has been put up by the defending champions. They have suffered just one defeat but there is something that is not just working out. Venezia will be looking for the home side to commit mistakes and then pounce on them to ensure that something could be extracted from the match.
