Venezia Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position
After winning the Serie B title and bolstering their ranks with exciting new arrivals, some backed Venezia to be the top flight’s Dark Horse this season. But after the first four rounds of the season, Giovanni Stroppa’s men are still seeking their first point.
The Arancioneroverdi began their Serie A campaign with a home defeat to Lecce in an early relegation scrap, before suffering another 0-2 defeat at home to AC Milan. The Venetians then fell short in an action-packed 2-3 defeat to fellow newly promoted Frosinone, while their last league appearance saw them lose 2- 4 to Fiorentina courtesy of hat-trick hero Franco Mastantuono.
Venezia thus find themselves at the very bottom of the Serie A table, as they remain the only club that has yet to get off the mark.

Venezia (3-5-2): Stankovic; Schingtienne, Moreno, Juan Jesus; Hainaut, Kike Perez, Basic, Sohm, Haps; Yeboah, Adams.

Final Score Prediction: Venezia 1-2 Lazio
Despite what the table standings might suggest, this won’t be a walk in the park for Lazio, as Venezia have the tools to inflict damage, even if they haven’t been able to come out with the right results. Therefore, Gattuso’s men must be prepared to grind to return to Rome with all three points in the bag.
The Calabrian has been operating with limited options in midfield, but he now possesses healthy depth in attack, so one of the second-half substitutes could end up winning it for the Aquile.
