Match report
Venezia end winless start with 1-0 victory over Napoli

AI-assisted match report written from official match data.

Napoli had 71% of possession and 29 shots to Venezia's 9, yet Venezia carried the greater threat on the break, with four of their nine efforts on target.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Venezia 17%, the draw 20%, Napoli 63%. It finished Venezia 1–0 Napoli.
Napoli's strength gap drives a clear lead — We give Napoli 63% mainly because they sit 248 points higher on our strength rating, 1783 to 1536, and home sides in Serie A tend to under-perform, which adds to it. The draw stays at 20%, close to the usual rate for a gap this size, with Serie A's draw rate and a typical scoring picture roughly cancelling out.
Why Napoli at 63%?
Napoli sit 248 points higher on our strength rating — 1783 to 1536. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge on the road won 65.7% of 5,873 such games. Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,142 games vs 44.6% across all 101,264 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 19–21–60.
Why only 63%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 63% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 20% and Venezia at 17%.
Why is the draw only 20%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 20.4%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,198.
What did we measure but not count?
Venezia have averaged 7 percentage points more possession than Napoli in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Venezia have shed 78 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.1% of 9,610 such games vs 33.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
