Match Information
Match Overview
Matchday 12 of the Serie A regular season brings Juventus and Venezia together at the Allianz Stadium on November 22, with kickoff scheduled for 11:30 UTC. The meeting pairs seventh-placed Juventus against Venezia, who sit 19th in the table, a gap in positions that frames the fixture as a contest between a side seeking to climb and one looking for points to move away from the bottom.

The most telling factor is the contrast in league form. Juventus have taken a mixed return from their last four Serie A outings: a 2-0 win away at Lecce on October 25, a 2-0 defeat at Genoa on October 28, a 2-0 home win over Napoli on November 1, and a 2-2 draw at Fiorentina on November 8. They also won 2-1 at AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on November 5, which adds to the schedule load but is mentioned here purely as fixture context. Venezia, by comparison, lost three consecutive league games, at Genoa, at home to Inter and away at Como, before beating Udinese 2-1 at home on November 6.
Venezia's results also show a pattern worth noting: their most recent league wins, over Napoli on October 17 and Udinese on November 6, both came at home, while their away league outings against Genoa and Como ended in 1-0 defeats. They now travel to face a Juventus side that kept clean sheets against Lecce and Napoli but conceded twice at both Genoa and Fiorentina.
Head-to-head history is closely contested. Juventus won 3-2 at Venezia on May 25, 2025 and drew 2-2 at home on December 14, 2024, so the last two meetings produced five goals each time.
Neither side has any reported unavailable players, meaning both managers, Luciano Spalletti and Daniele Nicola, should have full squads to choose from. That makes selection, rather than absence, the key question for each camp.
In summary, this is a fixture where the table positions and recent league results point in different directions for the two sides, with Juventus seeking consistency and Venezia seeking a first away league win in this run.

Team Form Analysis
Juventus
League Position: 7Juventus Form Analysis
Juventus's recent run reads as inconsistent but productive. Across their last five matches in all competitions they collected three wins, one draw and one defeat. In Serie A specifically, they won at Lecce 2-0 on October 25, lost 2-0 at Genoa on October 28, beat Napoli 2-0 at home on November 1, and drew 2-2 at Fiorentina on November 8.
Attacking output has been steady, with Juventus scoring in four of those five matches and netting two goals in each of their wins and in the draw at Fiorentina. The Europa League victory at AZ Alkmaar on November 5, 2-1, added another win to the sequence, though it is best viewed as part of a busy schedule rather than a league indicator.
Defensively, the picture is more mixed. Clean sheets against Lecce and Napoli sit alongside two-goal concessions at Genoa and Fiorentina, so the back line has alternated between solid and vulnerable. Three of the five fixtures were played away from home, which is a useful reminder that much of this form was built on the road.
The quality of opposition has varied, with Napoli providing the most notable scalp. Heading into this fixture at home, Juventus will aim to translate their scoring consistency into a result, while tightening up against a side that has also been drawing on limited goal returns.
Venezia
League Position: 19Venezia Form Analysis
Venezia arrive with a recent record of two wins and three defeats from their last five Serie A matches. The trajectory is uneven: a 1-0 home win over Napoli on October 17 was followed by three straight league losses, 1-0 at Genoa on October 25, 2-0 at home to Inter on October 28, and 1-0 at Como on November 1. They then returned to winning ways with a 2-1 home victory over Udinese on November 6.
Attacking numbers are modest. Venezia scored just four goals across the five games and failed to score in three of them, which underlines how much margin for error they have had in matches. The Udinese game, in which they found the net twice, was their highest-scoring outing of the run.
Defensively they have been tighter than the results suggest. They conceded only once in four of the five matches, with Inter's two goals on October 28 the exception. Three of their defeats came by a single goal, which indicates narrow margins rather than heavy losses.
The opposition has been demanding, including Napoli and Inter, and both home wins came at their own ground, while both away league games in this sample ended in defeat. That away record is the backdrop to their trip to Turin.

The last two encounters have each produced five goals, suggesting this pairing has leaned toward open, goal-filled football in recent years.
