Venezia vs Lazio Prediction
Venezia, almost somehow, remain under the stewardship of Eusebio Di Francesco who took Frosinone down last season and looks set to do the same with Venezia this year. Their 2-0 defeat to Genoa last week means they have now suffered three successive losses with just three victories in 25 matches all season. They now face a Lazio side that have shown signs of being very strong under Marco Baroni this year but remain just outside of the top four ahead of this match day. They are the firm favourites here, though, and will be expected to win this one quite comfortably.
