AC Milan vs Venezia Prediction: No Surprises Expected

AC Milan are still looking for their first win of the new Serie A season and will be under pressure to secure all three points on Saturday when they host Venezia at San Siro.

Returning from the international break with only two points, Milan are only slightly ahead of their newly promoted opponents, who have only scored one goal and earned one point so far.

Latest team news for AC Milan vs Venezia

AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca, who reunited with his former Roma teammate Tammy Abraham at the end of the transfer window, is expected to give the English striker his first start on Saturday. Meanwhile, first-choice striker Alvaro Morata only returned to full training on Wednesday after recovering from a thigh injury.

Although the Spanish star has recovered, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi will still be out for an extended period, while center-back Malick Thiaw is still struggling with an ankle injury.

Rafael Leao, who was benched in the match against Lazio, is likely to return to the starting lineup this weekend. Since the start of last season, Leao has been the only player to reach double figures for both goals and assists in Serie A (10 goals and 10 assists).

For Venezia, star striker Joel Pohjanpalo has recovered in time for the international break and will be looking for his first goal of the season, after scoring 22 goals in Serie B last season.

Former Inter Milan player Gaetano Oristanio will return to San Siro and is likely to start in support of Pohjanpalo in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

With U.S. player Gianluca Busio having recovered from injury over the past two weeks, coach Eusebio Di Francesco may have a full squad to choose from for this match.

Latest AC Milan vs Venezia football match prediction

With speculation mounting about a potential successor to either Max Allegri or Thomas Tuchel, Milan's new coach, Paulo Fonseca, is desperate to secure his first victory in Saturday night's competitive match.

Fonseca's time at San Siro has clearly not lived up to expectations, as after a draw with Torino on the opening day of Serie A - after being two goals down until the 89th minute - the Rossoneri went on to lose to newly promoted Parma.

After losing their lead against Lazio in their last match, only a spectacular counter-attack goal created by Tammy Abraham and a goal from Rafael Leao – while Leao and other star Theo Hernandez were surprisingly relegated to the bench – prevented Milan from suffering a defeat in the capital.

Concerns remain about their weak defense, and since the end of Stefano Pioli's tenure, the Lombardy side have conceded at least two goals in their last five matches, averaging 2.4 goals conceded per game.

If they continue to lose this weekend, the Rossoneri will fail to win their first four Serie A matches for the first time in 65 years – and the first time this century.

Ahead of their Champions League clash with Liverpool next week, Milan need a more solid performance at San Siro, where they have lost only one of their 13 home games against Venezia in Serie A.

Venezia's only away win dates back to 1942, while their last victory against Milan anywhere was approximately 24 years ago.

Having failed to find their form after being promoted through the Serie B play-offs, Venezia have only managed one point from their three top-division matches so far, in addition to being eliminated from the Coppa Italia.

Having lost to their former team, Lagunari conceded a late goal to Paolo Vanoli's Torino – once again failing to score.

Magnus Andersen actually put Venezia ahead early in their opening match against Lazio, but they ultimately lost 3-1. Since then, the Arancioneroverdi team haven't scored another goal.

Coach Eusebio Di Francesco faces a difficult task in turning things around after a challenging summer transfer window. However, Milan's leaky defense may at least help the visitors end their worrying goal drought. With Paulo Fonseca's team almost unbeatable, they are almost certain to beat Venezia, who look set to have a long and difficult season.

The visiting players lacked sharpness in attack, and their shaky defense could be exploited by the skill and speed of Rafa Leao, Christian Pulisic, and their teammates.
