Lazio vs Unione Venezia: Romans mustn't lose points

Lazio will play host to Venezia in the 29th round of Serie A. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Lazio's second half of February was a complete disaster. Not only did they drop out of the Europa League knockout phase, losing 3:4 on aggregate to Porto, they also failed to beat Udinese 1:1 in Serie A and lost 1:2 to Napoli. However, Maurizio Sarri's side made a good start to March, with a 3:0 win over Cagliari in Sardinia. They are one step behind sixth-placed Atalanta, but they have played one more match this season.

Venezia has only won once in their last 11 games. They beat Torino (2:1). After that the team lost to Genoa (1:1) and also lost to Verona (1:3) and in the last matchday to Sassuolo (1:4). As for Venice's position in the table, they are 18th in the relegation zone with 22 points.

The bookmakers are obviously favouring Lazio for Monday's match, and we agree with them. After beating Cagliari 3:0, the home side will obviously want to take on their second underdog in a row, because they're still just a few points away from the European cup spot. With their backing in Rome, we don't think they'll have any problems. We're betting on a confident Lazio win. Prediction: Lazio will win in the first half and the game.
