Venezia - Fiorentina

Both sides enter this matchday 4 clash desperate to arrest a slide in form that has left them searching for consistency. Venezia host Fiorentina at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo on 11 September 2026, aiming to recover from a narrow 3-2 defeat against Frosinone. The home side will be without the services of Armel Bella-Kotchap due to injury, placing pressure on their expected back line of Joel Schingtienne, Richie Sagrado, and Redouane Halhal to provide cover for goalkeeper Filip Stankovic.

Fiorentina arrive in equally difficult circumstances, having suffered back-to-back league losses against Torino and Frosinone. Their defensive unit, expected to feature Radu Dragusin and David de Gea, must contend with the loss of Christ Inao Oulai. History offers little comfort for the visitors, who last tasted victory against Venezia in a 2022 Serie A encounter, while their most recent meeting at this venue ended in a 2-1 victory for the hosts in May 2025.
