Lazio claimed a 2-0 victory over Venezia that propelled them into third place in Serie A with 13 points from five games. The result leaves Venezia rooted to the bottom of the table without a single point after five matches. Lazio's strong start continues to mark them as early title challengers while the Venetians face an uphill battle to avoid relegation.
Lazio controlled proceedings with a compact defensive shape that frustrated Venezia's attempts to build attacks. The visitors created the clearer openings and converted enough of them to secure the clean-sheet win on the road. Venezia showed occasional promise in possession but lacked the cutting edge to trouble a well-organized Lazio back line.
Before kickoff Venezia had lost all five of their fixtures, including defeats to Milan, Udinese and Fiorentina. Lazio arrived with a record of four wins and one draw, having dropped points only against Milan in a competitive 2-2 draw.
The outcome extended Lazio's unbeaten sequence and deepened Venezia's losing run at the start of the 2025-2026 season. One side now sits among the early pace-setters while the other must quickly find points to arrest their slide.
