Correct score prediction: Venezia vs Lazio

These two sides last met on the opening day of the season, with Lazio securing a 3-1 victory at home.

Recent history favours Lazio, who have won their last four league meetings against Venezia. Despite that, it will be an uphill battle for the struggling hosts. Venezia has been poor in front of goal, scoring just three times in their last five matches.

Prediction: Venezia 0-2 Lazio

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru eyeing a regular spot

Nigerian midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is still working to establish himself as a regular starter for Lazio, but he has impressed whenever given the chance.

His Serie A debut came in the reverse fixture against Venezia, where Lazio claimed a 3-1 win. He will be looking forward to another successful outing on Saturday.

With Nico Rovella suspended, Dele-Bashiru could be handed a starting role in midfield. His powerful runs and tenacity in the middle of the park will be crucial for Lazio as they seek another away victory.

The 24-year-old has made 15 Serie A appearances this season, five of them as a starter, and has found the net three times.
