Lazio to win

Lazio's perfect start and far tighter defensive record give them the more convincing route to an away win.
Venezia versus Lazio is a pretty clear early-season form test at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. Lazio arrive with nine points from three games and only one goal conceded, while Venezia have lost all three and shipped seven. My match prediction is a Lazio away win, most likely without a wild scoreline. The prices are close enough to keep this interesting, though, so there is a little more to unpack below.
Here's the thing: the table tells a straightforward story after three rounds. Lazio are third with a perfect nine points, four goals scored and one allowed. Venezia are 18th, still waiting for a point after three defeats, with a 2-7 goal record. I think that contrast makes Lazio the right side to lean towards, even if the away price at 2.90 shows this is not being framed as a formality.
Venezia's recent results have offered little comfort. They lost 2-0 at AC Milan, then 2-0 at home to Lecce, before a 3-2 defeat at Frosinone. There was at least some attacking output in that latest game, but conceding three means the bigger problem remains at the other end. Lazio, meanwhile, started with 1-0 wins over Bologna and Genoa, following a 2-1 home win against Pisa in May. That recent sequence supports a team capable of taking control without needing a shootout.
For me, Lazio to win is the main angle and Venezia 0-2 Lazio is the most plausible score lean. The supporting bets follow the same logic: no on both teams to score and under 2.5 goals. Lazio's defensive start is the key evidence, although the BTTS market does rate goals at both ends as the likelier outcome. That is the obvious counterargument, and it keeps confidence at medium rather than turning this into a stronger call.
Lazio have the stronger early-season case to take the points in Venice.
