Two teams heading in opposite directions meet at the Pier Luigi Penzo on Saturday, as pointless Venezia host a Lazio side sitting pretty in the top four of Italian Serie A.
Venezia are the only side in the division yet to get off the mark, four straight defeats leaving them rooted to the foot of the table and desperate for a first point of the campaign.
Lazio arrive full of confidence after taking 10 points from a possible 12, with three wins and one draw so far leaving them among the early front-runners.
History leans heavily the visitors' way too, and you can back your view on Venezia vs Lazio across every market.
Venezia vs Lazio Form
It has been a miserable start for Venezia, who have lost each of their last six Serie A matches and conceded at least twice in every one of them. Bottom of the table on form and standing alike, they need Akor Adams and John Yeboah firing up front to spark a turnaround.
Lazio are in a far healthier spot, unbeaten in their last five Serie A outings and ranked fourth for form. Davide Frattesi has been in sharp shape, scoring in three of his last four league appearances, while Mattia Zaccagni remains a constant threat down the left.

Venezia vs Lazio Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Everything points to an away win here. Lazio are the in-form side, they hold the historical edge, and Venezia's leaky defence makes them vulnerable. We fancy the visitors to edge a game with goals in it, landing on a 1-2 Lazio win.
Best Bets
Back Over 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The numbers project a lively 3.36 expected goals across the 90, and with Venezia shipping at least two in each of their last six league games, the net looks likely to bulge more than a couple of times.
Back Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Both attacks are graded a solid two-thirds likely to find the net, and with two depleted backlines on show, Venezia's home threat should trouble Lazio just as much as the visitors will hurt the hosts.
Venezia vs Lazio Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder leans on the visitors: Mattia Zaccagni Over 2.5 shots, Davide Frattesi to score anytime, Akor Adams Over 0.5 shots on target, and Lazio to win the game.
Zaccagni is a shots machine, having attempted 3+ efforts in each of his last four Serie A appearances, and he stays untouchable on Lazio's left flank.
Frattesi is the man for goals from midfield, netting in three of his last four league games, so he is a natural fit in the anytime scorer market.
Adams has recorded 1+ shots on target in each of his last four Serie A outings, and as Venezia's focal point up top he should test Mandas again.
And rounding it off, Lazio to win: the visitors are unbeaten in their last nine against Venezia in all competitions and arrive in far superior form.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 35/2 and is as short as 10.72/1 elsewhere.

Venezia vs Lazio Talking Points
Both camps are wary of the trapdoor here. Lazio boss Gennaro Gattuso warned against complacency, calling it "a tough match" against a Venezia side that "plays football right in your face and comes to press you man-to-man." His opposite number Giovanni Stroppa branded Lazio "one of the most in-form teams in the championship" while admitting the zero-point start weighs like a "macigno", a boulder, on his squad. With Venezia unbeaten history against the visitors all coming at home, the Penzo could yet prove a banana skin, but Lazio's quality and momentum make them a deserved favourite.
