With the home side fighting for survival and their visitors vying for a return to Europe, Venezia will welcome Fiorentina to Stadio Penzo on Monday.
Draw specialists, the Lagunari are stuck inside Serie A’s drop zone with three games to play; meanwhile, the Viola sit ninth and have just been hit by more Conference League disappointment.
We say: Venezia 1-1 Fiorentina
Having fumbled the most points from leading positions throughout Serie A – a remarkable 30 so far – any Venezia lead is not safe.
Though the much improved and highly motivated hosts are capable of capitalising on Fiorentina’s Conference League hangover, they may slip up again, producing a result that suits neither side.

Two teams battling for a precious top-four finish will meet in Bergamo on Monday, as Atalanta BC play host to Serie A’s form side Roma.
While the hosts sit third and are masters of their own destiny, their Roman rivals have surged through the pack and are not giving up on Champions League qualification.
We say: Atalanta BC 0-0 Roma
While Atalanta have been below their best on home soil for several months, Roma are hard to beat and can at least grind out a goalless draw.
A point will suit La Dea more than their counterparts from the capital, as that should essentially sew up third place.
