The Coppa Italia Round of 16 match between Inter and Venezia will take place on December 3 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. Inter vs. Venezia: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Inter
Cristian Chivu's side has yet to play in this year's Coppa Italia, having exited last season's tournament in the semi-finals, losing to AC Milan over two legs (1-1, 0-3). In the last six seasons, Inter has reached at least the semi-final stage five times and won the trophy twice. Notably, the team has not scored more than one goal in 90 minutes in 7 of their last 10 Cup matches.
- The club has not lost in regular time in their last eight home matches in the Coppa Italia (5 wins, 3 draws).
- The team has kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 home fixtures in this tournament.
- Inter has scored exactly 1 or 2 goals in regular time in 8 of their last 9 home games in the national Cup.
Predicted lineup for Inter (3-5-2)
Yann Sommer – Manuel Akanji, Alessandro Bastoni, Francesco Acerbi – Luis Enrique, Petar Sucic, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Federico Dimarco – Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram.
Defenders Matteo Darmian and Denzel Dumfries, along with forward Ange-Yoan Bonny, will miss the game due to injuries.
Venezia
Giovanni Stroppa's side began their campaign in this year's national Cup from the Round of 64, where they confidently defeated Mantova (4-0). Venezia then eliminated Verona (0-0, 5-4 on penalties). As a result, the team reached the Coppa Italia Round of 16 for only the second time since the 2004/05 season. Notably, the club has not lost in regular time in 7 of their last 10 matches in this tournament (3 wins, 4 draws).
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of Venezia's last 7 matches in the national Cup.
- The club has scored in regular time in 7 out of their last 10 games in this tournament.
- Venezia has not conceded more than one goal in the second half in 8 of their last 10 Coppa Italia matches.

Match Prediction: Inter vs. Venezia
Inter rarely loses at home in cup competitions, but they tend to achieve the necessary results with minimal effort. The team does not aim to play a flashy attacking game and usually limits itself to a small number of goals: in their last 11 home matches in the Coppa Italia, Inter has not scored more than two goals in regular time.
Venezia does not boast outstanding achievements in the national Cup, but they are capable of a respectable performance. At the very least, the club rarely suffers defensive collapses, and in this tournament's two matches, they have not conceded a single goal in 90 minutes. Overall, in their last 10 Coppa Italia games, they have allowed opponents to score more than twice in regular time only twice. Additionally, Venezia is likely to play defensively away at Inter.
I believe the hosts will not score too many, so my prediction: Inter individual total under 2.5 goals
