Winless Venezia host in-form Lazio at the Penzo
Bottom-placed Venezia search for their first point of the season against a Lazio side enjoying their joint-best start to a century.
Venezia sit 20th in Serie A with zero points after four matches, having suffered five consecutive defeats across all competitions. Giovanni Stroppa’s side comes into this fixture following a 4-2 loss to Fiorentina, a result that highlighted a defensive fragility which has seen them concede 11 times in the opening month of the campaign.
Lazio occupy 4th place with 10 points from four games, matching their best start to a season since 2017-18. Under Gennaro Gattuso, the side is unbeaten in four matches, most recently drawing 2-2 with AC Milan following three straight victories over Udinese, Genoa, and Bologna.
