After four rounds, Venice remains the only team with zero points in the standings. Last Friday, the "winged lions" hosted Fiorentina. A beautiful goal by Adams in the 22nd minute put the hosts ahead. However, their joy did not last long. During the next ten minutes, the Fiorentines not only equalized but also went ahead thanks to a brace by Mastantuono. By the end of the first half, the "Lilies" could have scored a third as well, but Stankovic saved Venice. In the course of the second half, the visitors extended the score to 1:4. Eno's goal in the 86th minute did not bring any dividends to the "Arancioneroverdi". The Venetians were unlucky to face a team that had changed its coach. The Fiorentines had double motivation, which they realized in the form of a comfortable victory. In the previous round, Venice suffered not the most deserved defeat in their match against Frosinone. Lazio hosted Milan in one of the round's centerpiece matches. The Romans started shockingly well: already in the 10th minute Cancellieri put his team ahead. Noslin doubled the lead for the Biancocelesti in the 39th minute. An excellent first half, however, was followed by a dull second. The Eagles completely collapsed for the rest of the match. The Rossoneri's total domination, though, did not lead to a comeback victory, but allowed the Diavoli to equalize. Statistical metrics indicate that the "winged lions" are short of some indicators. Thus, according to xG, the team scored 3.19 goals fewer than they could have. And according to xPTS, the Arancioneroverdi underperformed by 4.09. The Romans, at the same time, collected 3.32 points more than statistics would have suggested. The last time the two sides met at Pierluigi Penzo a goalless draw was recorded. Four defeats at the start are an unacceptable result. Giovanni Stroppa's charges, however, did not always deserve such outcomes. The Romans play extremely inconsistently. Gattuso's charges can show completely different football even within two halves. Stroppa is at a turning point in his career. The fifth consecutive defeat will probably lead to the coach's early departure. Venice is not the most hopeless team and may well find a counter to Lazio's "beat-and-run" scheme. Could there be a sensation in this match? Quite possible.
