Venezia desperately need points on Saturday, Sep 19 at 8:45 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Venezia come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Lazio, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Venezia head into this on the back of a defeat, while Lazio arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Venezia face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Lazio have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Venezia a slight edge, but Lazio are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
