In a weekend match on Saturday May 14th, in week 37, Roma and Venezia will play a match in Roma in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Serie A teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, 7th placed Roma, recorded a 0-2 loss against Fiorentina. Nicolás González struck first for Fiorentina in the 5th minute on a penalty shot, then Giacomo Bonaventura added another in the 11th minute In the end, Roma couldn’t muster any offence and Fiorentina ran away with the shutout win. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Roma should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 20th placed Venezia is fresh off their 4-3 win against Bologna. Thomas Henry scored the first goal for Venezia in the 4th minute, then Sofian Kiyine added another in the 19th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 3 points in their last 10 matches.
Roma and Venezia last played eachother at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo on the 7th of November. Venezia was victorious by a score of 3 to 2. Mattia Caldara struck first for Venezia in the 3rd minute on a feed from Mattia Aramu, but Eldor Shomurodov got the equalizer for Roma in the 43rd minute , but luckily for Venezia it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn the win.
Both Mattia Aramu and Thomas Henry have been the hottest scorers for Venezia in the last five each having scored 2 goals. Chris Smalling and Carles Pérez are the top scorers for Roma in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
