Venezia face another demanding test on home soil, and a fifth consecutive defeat would deepen the hosts’ difficult start to life back in the top flight.
Poor form continued for the home side last week, when Venezia were beaten 4-2 on their own turf by Fiorentina.
Following the loss, there is also a broader concern hanging over Giovanni Stroppa’s side, as each of their last four Serie A campaigns has ended in relegation.
Their home record before this campaign had offered plenty of encouragement, with eight consecutive competitive victories preceding their two Serie A defeats at home this term.
Lazio, meanwhile, have made an excellent start under Gennaro Gattuso despite the initial surprise surrounding his appointment.
The Biancocelesti have collected 10 points from their first four matches after recording three wins and one draw.
However, they were left frustrated last time out after surrendering a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw against AC Milan.
Their confidence on the road should be high, with the Biancocelesti having won four of their last five league matches away from Stadio Olimpico.
