Venezia host Lazio at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in Venice in the fifth round of the Serie A season, with the visitors looking to build on a strong start to the campaign.
Venezia sit bottom of the table after four matches and have lost all five of their most recent fixtures across all competitions. Their last outing ended in a 2-4 home defeat to Fiorentina, a match in which Argentine teenager Franco Mastantuono scored twice in two minutes to turn the game on its head and then completed a hat-trick — a performance that underlined just how difficult this season has been for Giovanni Stroppa's side.
Lazio arrive in Venice fourth in the table with 10 points from four games, their best start to a Serie A campaign in several years. Gennaro Gattuso's side have won three and drawn one, with their only dropped points coming in a 2-2 draw at the Olimpico against Milan last weekend.
That draw was a tale of two halves. Lazio dominated the first period and led 2-0 through goals from Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin, only for Milan substitute Diego Moreira to score twice after the interval and rescue a point for Sergio Amorim's side.
Gattuso's relationship with Milan adds a layer of narrative to this fixture's recent backdrop. The Lazio coach left the San Siro dugout after just 18 months, walking away from the remaining two years of his contract — a decision he described as one of the heart rather than the wallet. He now leads a Lazio side that looks, in many ways, like the team he always wanted to build.
With Lazio pushing at the top of the table and Venezia desperate for their first points of the season, this fixture carries real weight at both ends of the standings.

Form
Venezia have lost all five of their last matches across all competitions, with no wins and no draws in that run. Their most recent fixture ended in a 2-4 home defeat to Fiorentina in Serie A, and they also fell 3-2 at Frosinone in their previous league outing. Across the five matches, Venezia scored eight goals but conceded 11, and they have not kept a clean sheet in any of those games.
Lazio's last five matches produced one loss, one draw, and three wins. They beat Udinese 2-1 away in Serie A, defeated Genoa 1-0 and Bologna 1-0 in earlier league rounds, drew 2-2 with Milan most recently, and lost 2-0 to Mantova in the Coppa Italia. The three league wins were all by a single goal, pointing to a side that is winning close matches rather than running away with games.
