Venezia with a half mission accomplished with a draw against Juventus on Saturday 11 December 2021 at the Penzo Stadium in Venice, Italy. Juventus, on paper, favorites to win and needed the victory to climb the Standings. Yet, they failed. This draw is more like a victory for Venezia after being down.

✅ Stats before the game. Fiorentina and Salernitana have met four times in Serie A, with the Viola leading by two wins to one (a draw completes the balance). Fiorentina have won, without conceding a goal, both home games against Salernitana in Serie A: the Campania team is, with Lecco, Legnano, Spezia and Treviso, one of the five against which the Viola have 100% home and clean successes sheet. Fiorentina are the third team in the last 50 years to have not drawn any of the first 16 games in a Serie A season, after Juventus 2016/17 and Udinese 2017/18 – both have not even affected the 17th game played. Salernitana, in these first 16 games, had two different coaches, in eight games each: the trend was identical, with a win, a draw and six defeats and even the same goal difference of -11 (one goal scored and one goal less for Colantuono). After a series of four consecutive lost away games, Salernitana has suffered only two defeats in the most recent four, with a win and a draw to complete. Salernitana has the worst attack of this championship, with 11 goals scored and is the team with fewer shots on target (46) – Dusan Vlahovic has scored more goals than all the Campania team (13), with half of the shots in the mirror (23).
