Venezia vs Lazio team news and expert analysis
The club from the unique city on the water has become a footballing "yo-yo club". Their latest attempt to establish themselves in Serie A ended unsuccessfully. However, they spent just one year in the second tier as well, immediately earning promotion back. The team began this season with a cup victory over Modena, only to be eliminated by their next opponent, Udinese. In Serie A, meanwhile, it has been one defeat after another. In the most recent round, they lost 2-4 to Fiorentina.
The capital club endured a disappointing campaign in the previous Serie A season, finishing only ninth, and lost the cup final to Inter. New head coach Gattuso endured a nightmare debut, losing to their very first cup opponent, Mantova: a shocking 0-2 home defeat! He then made amends in Serie A, overseeing a run of victories. Against strong Milan, they managed a high-scoring 2-2 draw in their most recent outing.
The newcomers have scored just one goal so far while conceding an average of 2.75 per game. Lazio are averaging 1.5 goals scored and just 0.75 conceded.
