Juventus boasts a positive track record at Venezia`s Penzo stadium, stretching back over fifty years. Their last victory there was a 2-1 win on May 19, 1963, secured by goals from Sivori in the 71st minute and a Miranda penalty in the 88th, after Raffin had briefly equalized for Venezia in the 75th.
Over this extensive period, Juventus has recorded 4 wins and 2 draws in encounters at the Penzo.
The most recent meeting at the ground, during the 2021-2022 season, finished 1-1, with goals coming from Morata in the 32nd minute and Aramu in the 55th.
When did the *Lagunari* (Venezia) last claim a home victory against Juventus? That was in the 1961-1962 season. On the 34th matchday, they netted three times within just ten minutes: Siciliano (60`), Rossi (68`), and Santon (70`).
The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, marked by a decisive Vlahovic penalty in the 95th minute.
Speaking of penalties, the spot-kick awarded *to* Juventus *against* Venezia in that match was the second to last one they have received. Since then, they have been awarded just one more penalty, away to Como on February 7th. By the time of Sunday`s match against Venezia, exactly 107 days will have passed since that last penalty was given.
Looking at the current league standings, Venezia is in the penultimate position with 29 points (5 wins, 14 draws, 18 losses; 30 goals scored, 53 conceded). They have collected 20 of these points at home (5 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses; 15 goals scored, 19 conceded). Their last match at the Penzo was a victory against Fiorentina. To have any chance of survival, former Venezia player Nicolussi Caviglia and his teammates must win their match and hope that both Empoli and Lecce lose theirs. Juventus sits fourth with 67 points (17 wins, 16 draws, 4 losses; 55 goals scored, 33 conceded), having earned 27 points away from the Allianz Stadium (6 wins, 9 draws, 3 losses; 24 goals scored, 18 conceded). They are currently in good form over the last 4 matchdays (2 wins, 2 draws). To guarantee Champions League qualification without relying on other results, Yildiz and the squad need to secure all three points.
A point of interest: despite their position near the bottom of the table, Venezia has the fourth-highest number of different goalscorers in the league, with 16 players finding the net.
