Juventus Faces Venezia in Season Finale Showdown

Venice, Italy – Juventus heads into its final match of the 2024-25 Serie A season on May 25, 2025, needing a win against Venezia to secure a spot in next year’s Champions League. The match is set for 8:45 p.m. local time at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo.

Juventus, currently fourth in the league, holds a slender one-point lead over Roma and a two-point advantage over Lazio, making victory crucial for their European aspirations. On the flip side, Venezia is fighting to avoid relegation, needing a win along with favorable results from other matches to remain in Serie A.

“At 19:45, it’s a matter of life or death, everything else is irrelevant,” said Juventus coach Igor Tudor, underscoring the high stakes of the encounter.

This season has been tumultuous for Juventus, who have recorded 16 draws thus far. With the potential for missed points weighing heavily, every match has become a test of resolve as they confront Venezia, a team capable of pulling off surprises, as demonstrated in their previous match.

Venezia has displayed a stronger record at home this season, collecting 20 of their 29 points at the Penzo, providing them with a fighting chance against the Bianconeri. The Patrick Vieira-managed team earned a crucial win against Fiorentina two weeks ago, proving they can upset bigger teams.

Alberto Costa, a young Portuguese fullback, is expected to step into a center-back role due to injuries plaguing Juventus. Costa, who joined Juventus in January, will take on a critical defensive position for the high-stakes match, marking his third start for the club.

Kickoff for the match between Juventus and Venezia is scheduled for Sunday, May 25, at 8:45 p.m. in Italy. Fans can watch the game live on various platforms, including Fox Sports Deportes in the U.S. and Sky Sport in Italy.
