- SSC Venezia are winless at home in Serie A 2026/2027 (D0, L2 after 2 games).
- SS Lazio are unbeaten away from home in Serie A 2026/2027 (W2 from 2 games, three goals scored).
- Venezia and Lazio have drawn their last Serie A head-to-head at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo (0-0) while Lazio have lost none of the last 2 head-to-heads (W1, D1).
Venezia and Lazio will be involved in an exciting match
The contrast in form heading into Saturday's Serie A 2026/2027 clash between SS Lazio and SSC Venezia couldn't be any more stark, with the home side winless and pointless at the bottom in 20th after four games, while the visitors are top of the table on ten points.
Gennaro Gattuso's men are a completely different proposition to the team that Maurizio Sarri had last season, and that's before we consider the fact that Sarri's side were struggling by the end of last campaign anyway.
The new 4-2-3-1 system is tougher, faster and much more compact in the centre of the field, but it's also extremely effective at creating pockets of space in behind the opposition defence with its aggressive pressing and sharp transitions, while Davide Frattesi has added a bit of an edge in the final third, with three goals in his three Serie A appearances to date.
The Biancocelesti certainly look the likelier winners here, however, the price of 2.2 is far too short for a side that is away from home, even if Venezia are in a slump. The home team are available at 3.15, so a draw at 3.35 seems like a far more likely result.
Lazio are the most likely winners
Venezia are in the midst of a five-game losing streak in all current competitions.
Gianluca Busio is the orchestrator for the arancioneroverdi, with two assists in four Serie A games this season, while Akor Adams is the main danger man with one goal in the league, but three strikes in the club's last five matches.
Giovanni Stroppa has set the team up from a 3-5-2 base, which pushes the wing-backs to make vertical runs and create overloads in the half-spaces. It is effective, but it also exposes the central areas, which Lazio can exploit.
Therefore, I'm backing Lazio to win here at 2.2, but I also think Venezia's home-ground advantage will keep things tighter than the table suggests, so if Lazio take the lead they will have to work hard to keep it. Under 2.5 goals at 1.9 looks a very clean angle if they can control the tempo, but I'd rather play both teams to score at 1.7 to keep a little bit of a live game in play.
