Venezia have suffered relegation in their last four top-flight seasons and the signs have not been good at the start of the new campaign.
They topped the second tier table last term, but have lost their first four Serie A matches to start the new season and will be looking to turn things around, but they do not have a good record against visitors Lazio.
Venezia v Lazio Tips Summary
Best Bet - Lazio to win @ 21/20
Alternative Bet - Andrea Pinamonti to score at any time @ 5/4
Bet Builder - Lazio to win, Oliver Provstgaard 2+ fouls & Akor Adams 1+ shots on target @ 6/1
Venezia v Lazio Prediction
Best Bet: Lazio to win @ 21/20
Lazio's start to the new Serie A season would have been perfect if they could have held on to a 2-0 lead over AC Milan last weekend. Instead, they conceded twice in the second half and had to settle for a share of the spoils.
Nevertheless, three wins from their first four games is a respectable return, with a victory over Genoa sandwiched in between away wins over Bologna and Udinese.
Gennaro Gattuso's men will be licking their lips at the thought of visiting Venezia, who have lost five on the spin and have conceded a league-high 11 goals in four Serie A matches.
Their recent record against these opponents leaves plenty to be desired too, with Venezia failing to win any of the last seven league meetings between these two sides.
Lazio should be able to take advantage of their hosts' leaky backline and pick up a fourth win of the season in this clash.
Alternative Bet: Andrea Pinamonti to score at any time @ 5/4
Andrea Pinamonti has had a solid career in Serie A and, after decent campaigns at Sassuolo and Genoa, he has earned a move to Lazio.
The Italy international has scored 30 goals across the last three top-flight campaigns and could net his first goal for his new club in this one.
Pinamonti looks set to lead the line and could take advantage of what has looked like a leaky Venezia defence this season.
Venezia v Lazio Bet Builder Tip
Lazio to win
Oliver Provstgaard 2+ fouls
Akor Adams 1+ shots on target
Pays 6/1
Lazio have won their last five road trips and should be able to extend that run against a Venezia side who have struggled badly to start the new campaign.
Oliver Provstgaard has already picked up his first card of the season after committing ten fouls in Lazio's opening four games of the Serie A campaign.
The Danish central defender could have a physical battle on his hands against Venezia's Akor Adams and looks set to commit two or more fouls in this one.
Adams has had a shot on target in all four of his Serie A games this season and a repeat of that looks likely in this clash.
