Their main goal is to secure their place in Serie A, but who knows, maybe this romantic team can swing something bigger?

Recent official meetings
Lazio
Across the last 10 matches, the Biancocelesti have won 5 times, drawn 3 times and suffered only 2 defeats. In the cup clash with Juventus (0:2, 2:1), Lazio eventually lost on aggregate.
In the championship, the Eagles were flying high and formidable. Victories over Empoli (2-0), Verona (1-0), Genoa (1-0) and Salernitana (4-1) showed that the team is in great shape and can decide matches in their favour even without the help of the leaders. The Lazio players showed great combination play, moved a lot without the ball and made great use of standard positions.
The draws with Inter (1-1) and Monza (2-2) are particularly noteworthy. In these matches, the Biancocelesti showed character and fighting qualities, managing to get back in the end and snatch important points.
Of course, the home defeat to Roma (0-1) was an unpleasant surprise for Lazio fans. In this match, the Eagles looked a bit tired and failed to find the keys to the goal of their principal rival.

Venezia
“Venezia” triumphantly finished the season in Serie B 2023/24, having won a ticket to the elite division of Italian football. In the decisive play-off match, the Lions defeated Cremonese 1-0 to return to Serie A two years later. This success was a natural outcome of the team’s impressive performance at the end of the season.
In the last 10 meetings “Venezia” won 7 wins, drew once and suffered only 2 defeats. Both losses came in away matches against Catanzaro (2:3) and Spezia (1:2), which did not break the fighting spirit of the “Lion of San Marco”. On the contrary, these setbacks only fuelled the Venetians and gave them extra motivation.
In the playoffs, Ventura’s wards were flying around the pitch, demonstrating attacking football. In the semi-finals, Venezia confidently defeated Palermo (1-0, 2-1), and in the final in a dramatic encounter they beat Cremonese (2-1, 0-0).
Of course, it was not without a spoonful of tar – Venezia failed to avoid slumps at the end of the season and made a few unfortunate misfires. However, these failures do not undermine the successful performance of the Lions, who rightfully won a ticket to Serie A.
