Como's wide combinations should give them the territorial initiative, while Venezia's compact shape and forward outlets keep the contest connected at both ends. The visiting attack has created chances even in recent defeats. Como's advancing defenders add receivers in the box and leave space for the next attack behind them.
Kaiki's low deliveries supplied Douvikas against Sassuolo, and Como later found Ramon and Paz from wide service at Torino. Venezia can narrow the middle with their back three and release Adams with Lauberbach or Yeboah. Adams and Lauberbach forced saves against Inter, while the team also created several useful openings at Genoa.
The current availability check restores Mazzocchi and Helgason to consideration after their recent substitutions. Venezia's continuing absences were already present against Inter. Como have newly lost Addai after his substitute appearance, reducing their fresh wide options, while Liberali returns to the squad.
I expect Como to have the longer attacking spells and Venezia to choose moments to send their forwards into the spaces behind that advance. The visitors delayed Inter deep into the match and retain a practical outlet against a team that needed important saves at Torino. That's why I'm siding with Venezia to keep this close; a narrow Como win still fits the attached selection.
