Baroni Aims For First Win Against Di Francesco In Upcoming Lazio Vs. Venezia Match

The upcoming match between Lazio and Venezia will also see a coaching duel between Marco Baroni and Eusebio Di Francesco. 

Following their victory against Cadiz, Lazio are now preparing for their Serie A debut on August 18. Venezia, managed by Eusebio Di Francesco, will travel to the Olimpico after their early elimination from the Coppa Italia by Brescia. This will be the sixth encounter between Baroni and Di Francesco, with Baroni seeking his first win. Historically, Di Francesco has had the upper hand, with Baroni’s record showing four losses and one draw from their previous meetings.

The most recent match between the two coaches ended in a 1-1 draw when Verona faced Frosinone on January 28. Sunday's game presents Baroni with an opportunity to start the season positively and break his poor record against Di Francesco.
