Frosinone vs Venezia: two promoted sides, two very different starts 
27 straight away games without a win in Serie A. Venezia’s miserable run on the road has been going since February 2022. It is a grim streak to carry into the Stadio Benito Stirpe on Sunday (15:00).
Frosinone, by contrast, are flying. They just put three past Fiorentina on their own patch at the Stadio Franchi.
Venezia edged Frosinone by a point for the second-tier title before sealing automatic promotion. The Ciociaria club followed the same route two years after a relegation they never really got over.
The two newcomers have made a completely different start to Serie A 2026-27. Frosinone have three points from two matches, while Venezia sit 19th with zero points and not a single goal.
The Canarini first slipped to Juventus at the Stirpe before turning on the style in Florence and winning 3-0. The Lagunari, meanwhile, have lost both of their games 2-0, at home to Lecce and then at San Siro against AC Milan.
Both sides also come into this one off the back of Coppa Italia exits, so neither can claim to be especially fresh. Frosinone lost on penalties to Sassuolo, while Venezia went down 2-1 to Udinese.
So there is an immediate points feel to this one for two clubs who are already looking over their shoulders at the relegation battle. It is also the first proper credibility test for a Venezia side that has shown absolutely nothing going forward so far.
Frosinone: that 3-0 in Florence has changed the mood 
Frosinone have scored three and conceded one after two Serie A matches.
That figure is almost entirely down to their second-round display, a 3-0 win at the Stadio Franchi on Fiorentina’s centenary day. Antonio Raimondo scored twice there.
That away-day edge is no fluke either. It carries over from a solid Serie B campaign on the road last season. Useful, sure, but Sunday’s match is at home, where Massimiliano Alvini’s men already fell to Juventus.
The midfield is still the engine room here. Giacomo Calo delivered 25 goal involvements in the second tier last season, the best return in the division, and he has already added an assist against Fiorentina.
Romano Schmid, rested in the cup because of a minor knock, is expected to start. Fares Ghedjemis remains a doubt after a move that had been reported never actually went through.
Alvini is likely to stick with Kvernadze and Fini out wide to feed Raimondo, who also scored against Venezia back in February. That trio has enough pace and movement to punish a side that likes the ball but can be sloppy when pressed.
The one issue is obvious enough: Frosinone have not yet won at the Stirpe this season. That home-away imbalance is exactly what Alvini needs to fix on Sunday.
Try it for $0.99.
Venezia: all the ball, none of the goals 
Venezia are the only Serie A side yet to score after two rounds, and they have shipped four.
Both defeats came by the same 2-0 scoreline, first at home to Lecce and then at San Siro against AC Milan. The Milan game offered the most encouragement, with Giovanni Stroppa’s side holding out for almost 70 minutes before cracking.
But the issue is a familiar one: Venezia keep the ball without ever making it count. Their Coppa Italia exit backed that up, a 2-1 defeat to Udinese despite having plenty of the possession.
The heaviest stat of all is on the road. Venezia have not won a Serie A away match since February 2022, a run now stretching to 27 games without a victory.
Stroppa’s hands are tied a bit as well, with Marin Sverko, Matias Moreno, Bartol Franjic and Andrea Adorante all out injured.
He rotated heavily in the cup, which should bring some of the regulars back in. Captain Gianluca Busio is expected to return to the starting XI alongside the attacking pair Akor Adams and John Yeboah.
Their one real source of comfort is recent history between the clubs. Venezia beat Frosinone twice last season in Serie B, 3-0 at home and 2-1 away.
Probable Frosinone XI: Palmisani ; Oyono, Calvani, Monterisi, Bracaglia ; Masini, Calo ; Fini, Schmid, Kvernadze ; Raimondo
Probable Venezia XI: Stankovic ; Schingtienne, Bella-Kotchap, Halhal ; Mazzocchi, Basic, Busio, Perez, Correia ; Yeboah, Adams
Serie A prediction Frosinone vs Venezia
Our prediction: Frosinone to win
Twenty-seven away Serie A games without a win is no ordinary slump. Venezia also still have not scored this season, which makes the idea of an away win hard to sell.
Frosinone, meanwhile, showed in Florence that they can strike fast and hit hard, with Raimondo already on the scoresheet against the Lagunari in February. The absences of Sverko and Moreno also weaken Venezia at the back against a Kvernadze-Fini-Raimondo front line that likes space in behind.
The likeliest script is Venezia having the ball and Frosinone punishing them in transition. Back the Canarini to take it.

Before anything else, a word on our free picks
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. It is an opinion, a read on where things stand, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal out of nowhere… and the whole picture changes.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks dead obvious, it isn’t. And yes, that means you can lose. At some point, you will.
- The smart move is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live on. And above all: do not chase losses. That usually ends badly.
- A bet should stay a bit of fun, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking over your day, if it winds you up or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if you need to, speak to a specialist service. That is what they are there for.
- In the end, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is illegal for minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can quickly go wrong (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions are not a contract. They carry no legal force. Put simply: you cannot use them to claim anything back if a bet loses.
Information that moves
A prediction is always based on what is known at the time it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet changes, as with Frosinone here, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can be out of date fast. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, simply check that betting is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
