Lazio welcomes relegation-threatened Venezia to Stadio Olimpico on Monday evening in their quest to return to European play and the home win looks like the only possible outcome today in Rome. The Biancocelesti, who are seventh in Serie A and trail city rivals Roma, are looking to build on a convincing win last week, while their Venetian visitors are stuck in the bottom three after nine games without a win. Only Juventus, Inter, and Milan have earned more points in Serie A since the end of November than Lazio's 25, but the capital club remains outside the European qualification places with just 10 games remaining, so we have plenty of motivation in-home team. While Maurizio Sarri is known for his expansive attitude, he has based much of his success on an improving defensive record, and with a 3-0 win over Cagliari last week, his side has maintained five clean sheets since the turn of the year, second only to Real Sociedad in the top five European leagues. Lazio will not want to let the division's 18th-placed team deny them maximum points after their elimination from both the Coppa Italia and the Europa League punctuated their largely positive league form. All they have left to fight for is a top-six finish, so they will not want to let the division's 18th-placed team deny them maximum points and I can imagine 2-0 as a minimal difference result. The team from the capital of Italy have no fresh injury problems ahead of this game, as Manuel Lazzarri is still ruled out of action and Danilo Cataldi remains unavailable.

In the meanwhile, Venezia will be more concerned with holding the positive result in this game following their poor current form and defensive worries. Following a 4-1 home thrashing by in-form Sassuolo last week, they have only seven points from their past 14 games, with nine losses during that time. Confidence is at an all-time low. Their chances to make a result here have been hampered by yet another goalkeeping injury. The first option Sergio Romero had minor knee surgery this week, and the second choice Luca Lezzerini has been declared out for the rest of the season. Mattia Aramu, who was booked last time out ,will also miss the match. Lazio have won 3-1 in Venezia back in December, so they know how to deal with such a team. This time, the difference may be even bigger as Lazio plays at home field. At home, Lazio is the second-best attack in the whole Serie A with 32 goals scored in 13 matches. I expect a lot of goals at Olimpico and Lazio to win with at least 2 goals difference.

My prediction;

Outcome: Lazio to win

Goals: over 2.5

周一晚上，拉齐奥欢迎面临降级威胁的威尼斯队来到奥林匹克球场，希望他们能重返欧洲赛场，而今天在罗马主场取胜似乎是唯一可能的结果。拉齐奥目前在意甲联赛中排名第七，仅次于同城死敌罗马，他们希望在上周令人信服的胜利的基础上继续前进，而他们的威尼斯客队在九场比赛未胜后仍在联赛垫底。自11月底以来，只有尤文图斯、国际米兰和米兰在意甲的得分超过了拉齐奥的25分，但首都俱乐部仍然没有进入欧冠预选赛，只剩下10场比赛，所以我们在主场有足够的动力。虽然Maurizio Sarri著称的态度,他有他的成功基于改善防守记录,上周3 - 0战胜卡利亚里,他的球队一直保持五个干净的床单,今年以来仅次于皇家社会在欧洲五大联赛。在被意大利杯和欧罗巴淘汰出局后，拉齐奥不会让这支排名18位的球队剥夺他们的最高分。他们剩下要争取的就是前六名，所以他们不会让排名第18的球队剥夺他们的最高分，我可以想象2-0是最小的差距。这支来自意大利首都的球队在这场比赛之前没有新的伤病问题，因为拉扎里和卡塔迪仍然不能参加比赛。

与此同时，在他们目前糟糕的状态和防守方面的担忧之后，Venezia将更加关注在这场比赛中保持积极的结果。在上周主场4-1输给状态良好的萨索洛之后，他们在过去的14场比赛中只得到7分，其中9场失利。信心处于历史最低点。他们在这里取得胜利的机会被另一个门将的受伤所阻碍。第一选择塞尔吉奥·罗梅罗本周接受了膝部小手术，第二选择卢卡·莱泽里尼已经宣布将缺席本赛季余下的比赛。上次因黄牌停赛的阿拉姆也将错过这场比赛。拉齐奥在12月3-1战胜了威尼斯，所以他们知道如何对付这样的球队。这一次，由于拉齐奥在主场比赛，差距可能会更大。在主场，拉齐奥以13场比赛进32球的成绩成为意甲联赛第二优秀的攻击手。我希望能在奥林匹克取得很多进球，而拉齐奥至少能赢下2个进球。
