Injuries and Suspensions
Venezia host Fiorentina at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in Serie A, with both clubs arriving in desperate need of a result after troubled starts to the 2026/27 season.
Venezia sit 18th in the table and have lost four of their last five competitive matches, conceding freely and struggling to find any consistency under Giovanni Stroppa.
Fiorentina's situation has been even more turbulent. The club sacked Fabio Grosso after just three league defeats, and Paolo Vanoli has returned to the Viola Park to take charge for the second time, tasked with steadying a squad that has not won a Serie A match this season.
Vanoli previously rescued Fiorentina from a similarly difficult position last season, which is precisely why the club turned back to him so quickly. His appointment came within hours of Grosso's dismissal, and the circumstances surrounding that exit have grown more complicated, with reports of a possible disciplinary action against the former coach.
For Venezia, the home fixture offers a chance to climb off the bottom of the table. They beat Fiorentina 2-1 in their most recent Serie A meeting, which will provide some encouragement, though their current form tells a different story.
Both sides need points badly. This is a fixture that carries real weight for two clubs fighting to find their feet in Serie A.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Venezia vs Fiorentina, including TV channel, live stream options, and kick-off time.
