Race preview: Weekend Serie A, tired Inter hosts Venice

At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on January 23, a match in the 23rd round of the Serie A, Inter Milan will face Venice at home.

Inter played at home in this match, which is also the third game in six days of Inter. The 17th league battled Atalanta and the 20th Coppa Italia took 120 minutes against Empoli. Therefore, this race is a huge challenge for the event-intensive Inter. Fortunately, Inter made a rotation of personnel in the match against Empoli, and some of the main players were rested. After the match, there are national team match days in between. Inter can have 10 days to fully adjust to face the same-city derby, which starts on Feb. 6.

Inter milan lead the table with 50 points after 21 games, while Venice are only 2 points ahead of the relegation zone after 21 games with 4 wins, 6 draws and 11 defeats. There is a clear gap in strength between the two sides.

In terms of injuries, Inter have no other significant injuries except for Correa, who was injured in the Italian Cup. On the Venetian side, Johansen, Happs, Mazoki and Romero are all suspicious of injury.

The two sides met in the first leg of the season, with Venice losing 2-0 at home to Inter. Inter have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 of the last six engagements, but since Venice has only been promoted to Serie A this season, these two losses go back to the 90s of the last century!
