Team News & Probable Lineups
Milan head into this one with a near-fully fit squad, giving the coaching staff plenty of options to rotate after their opening fixture. Venezia, back among the elite after promotion, will likely set up defensively compact and look to hit Milan on the counter, a tactic that’s historically given them their best chance against bigger sides. Recent head-to-head trends favour the hosts heavily, with both teams combining for an average of 2.75 goals per direct meeting historically. FCTables
Prediction
Given Milan’s home dominance and Venezia’s tag as newly-promoted underdogs, expect the Rossoneri to control proceedings from the outset. A 2-0 or 3-1 scoreline in Milan’s favour looks the likeliest outcome, though Venezia’s resilience away from home last time out suggests they won’t go down without a fight.
