The intense battle for salvation concluded in a stalemate. Venezia and Como wrapped up Serie A Week 15 with a 2-2 tie on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium in Venice, Italy. Venezia initially took the lead with a shot from Nicolussi Caviglia that was deflected by Pohjampalo. However, the visitors equalized thanks to an own goal from Antonio Candela. Andrea Belotti then put the Lombardy side ahead, seemingly securing the three points.

In a dramatic turn, Venezia fought back fiercely: Oristanio leveled the score with a corner kick goal, aided by the wind, and Nicolussi Caviglia almost clinched the win in the 88th minute with a powerful right-footed shot, but VAR ruled it out for offside. As a result, Venezia remains at the bottom of the standings. It’s crucial for them to start winning soon or they may face relegation next season.

Como has historically performed well against Venezia in Serie A, remaining unbeaten in their past meetings. The last encounter in the league was during the 1949/50 season, where Como took the first leg 2-1 and the second ended in a stalemate at 0-0. On the bright side for Venezia, they have not lost any of their last five home league games against Como, achieving three victories and two draws. The last away win for Como against Venezia was way back on September 11, 1994, when they won 1-0 in Serie B.

Stats before the game:

Venezia has both scored and conceded in each of their last seven Serie A matches against newly promoted teams, managing to secure just one victory during that stretch (3 draws, 3 losses): a 2-1 win over Empoli on September 11, 2021. Meanwhile, Como, after a 1-1 draw with Genoa in their most recent away match, has the chance to remain unbeaten in two consecutive away games in Serie A for the first time since January-February 2003, when they had two 0-0 draws against Torino and Empoli.

Venezia has faced a tough time lately, losing their last four league matches, and the last instance of them suffering five straight defeats in the first half of a Serie A season was back in 2001/02 under Cesare Prandelli. Como is among four teams in the top five European leagues that have not secured a win since October, alongside Heidenheim, Bochum, and Nantes.

Currently, Venezia has scored the fewest goals from open play in Serie A this season (just four), while Como has conceded 18 goals from open play, tied with Parma, and only Hellas Verona has allowed more (28).
