Lazio are on a roll
Gennaro Gattuso has made SS Lazio a tough, fast and very compact 4-2-3-1 unit since taking over as head coach, and their Serie A 2026/2027 record of 10 points from four games sees them sit top of the table ahead of Saturday's clash with Serie A's SSC Venezia.
The Biancocelesti have not had many issues on the road this term, registering 2 wins from their first 2 away trips, so they should have no fear of the arancioneroverdi, who have lost five games in a row across all competitions after recent setbacks against Frosinone and Fiorentina.
With Davide Frattesi hitting a red-hot three goals in three Serie A appearances so far, Lazio have some real bite in behind the centre forwards, while Giovanni Stroppa's Venezia are at their best when Gianluca Busio gets on the ball, as he has two assists in Serie A so far this season.
Wide-open game in store?
It is important to note that Venezia's 3-5-2 formation is based on the width of their wing-backs, who can stretch the pitch very wide when pushing forward, so this could be a very open game if they can get the ball into the wide channels.
However, the compactness of Lazio's 4-2-3-1, their ability to press high and win the ball back quickly in transition could catch out Venezia here, so it's best to back the top table team at 6/5, with Venezia at 43/20 and the draw at 47/20.
Akor Adams to make his mark
Akor Adams is the biggest threat to Venezia as he has scored one goal in Serie A this season and has been involved in three of Venezia's eight goals in their last five games, so back him to score at any time.
Lazio are looking like the likelier winner, but Venezia's desperation for the points at home could keep this tighter than the table suggests, so if the visitors are able to keep the tempo of the game, then under 2.5 goals at 9/10 looks a good punt, while both teams to score at 7/10 will keep a game in play.
