With everything on the line in Sunday’s Serie A finale, Venezia welcome Juventus to a tension-filled Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo. The hosts are staring at an immediate return to Serie B, while the visitors are just three points away from securing a Champions League return in what has been a turbulent campaign.

Eusebio Di Francesco’s Venezia need more than just a miracle. Sitting 19th, two points from safety, they must beat Juventus and hope Empoli and Lecce both drop points to stay up. A potential three-way tie on 32 points could even trigger a dramatic playoff scenario—but Venezia’s focus will be solely on ending a 63-year winless run at home against the Bianconeri. Despite struggling all season to score from open play—with a league-high 53% of their goals coming from set pieces—Venezia have recently shown signs of life, winning two of their last three at home. Yet their latest 3-0 defeat to Cagliari revealed familiar fragility, and they’ll likely need to exceed their season-long best to pull off a shock result.

For Juventus, the situation is more straightforward. Beat Venezia, and fourth place—and Champions League football—is guaranteed. Anything less could open the door to Roma or Lazio overtaking them. Interim boss Igor Tudor, still auditioning for a long-term role, saw his side beat Udinese last week, powered by Kenan Yildiz’s creative brilliance and Dusan Vlahovic’s return to scoring form. Yildiz now has 10 Serie A goal involvements—the most of any player his age—and Juve’s points-per-game more than doubles when he starts. With McKennie fit and Thuram returning from suspension, the Bianconeri should field a near full-strength lineup, though injuries and question marks remain over several key players.

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia remains Venezia’s heartbeat and top scorer, especially dangerous from set pieces. For Juventus, Vlahovic will look to build on his goal last week, while Yildiz’s creativity continues to make the difference in tight matches.

Venezia will fight with everything, but Juventus’ experience and attacking quality should see them through. Expect the Lagunari to go down swinging—but also going down.

在周日的意甲决赛中，一切都岌岌可危，威尼斯欢迎尤文图斯来到充满紧张气氛的路易吉·彭佐球场。主队将立即重返乙级联赛，而客队在动荡的欧冠联赛中只差三分就能重返欧冠。

尤西比奥·迪·弗朗西斯科的威尼斯需要的不仅仅是奇迹。目前他们排在第19位，距离安全仅差2分，他们必须击败尤文图斯，并希望恩波利和莱切都能丢分以保持领先。一场32分的三方平局甚至可能引发戏剧性的季后赛——但威尼斯的重点将仅仅是结束63年来主场对阵斑马军团的不败纪录。尽管整个赛季都很难在空档比赛中进球——53%的进球来自定位球，这在联赛中是最高的——但威尼斯队最近表现出了活力，最近三场比赛在主场赢了两场。然而，他们最近0 - 3输给卡利亚里暴露了他们熟悉的脆弱，他们很可能需要超越赛季以来的最佳状态才能取得令人震惊的结果。

对于尤文图斯来说，情况更加直接。击败威尼斯，第四名和欧洲冠军联赛就稳当了。如果做不到这一点，罗马或拉齐奥就有可能超越他们。临时主帅伊戈尔·图多尔仍在为球队的长远发展而努力，他的球队在上周击败了乌迪内斯，这得益于凯南·耶尔德兹的创造力和杜桑·弗拉霍维奇的进球状态。耶尔德兹现在已经在意甲联赛进球10次，是同年龄球员中进球最多的，当他首发出场时，尤文的场均得分是他的两倍多。随着麦肯尼的康复和图拉姆的停赛归来，斑马军团应该会派出近乎全线的阵容，尽管几名关键球员仍有伤病和疑问。

卡维利亚仍然是威尼斯的心脏和头号射手，尤其是定位球。对于尤文图斯来说，弗拉霍维奇将在上周的进球基础上继续努力，而耶尔德兹的创造力将继续在激烈的比赛中发挥作用。

威尼斯将全力以赴，但尤文图斯的经验和进攻能力应该能帮助他们渡过难关。预计拉古纳里会在摇摆中下降，但也会下降。
