Milan are set to kick off their home campaign in style against a Venezia side that looks out of sorts after a shaky start to the season. With Ruben Amorim taking charge for the first time in front of the San Siro faithful, the Rossoneri need a convincing performance to get the fans buzzing and keep their European dreams alive. This fixture comes at the perfect time for the hosts who are hungry for points and eager to put last season’s late collapse behind them.
Team Form
The visitors have already shown they struggle when it matters most after losing their opening game 0-2 at home to Lecce despite creating a couple of chances that were later chalked off by VAR. Milan on the other hand bounced back from a nervy away win at Torino where Adrien Rabiot grabbed a goal and an assist in the second half to seal a 2-1 result. In the last two Serie A campaigns Milan have bossed Venezia completely winning all four meetings without even conceding once.
- Milan have won every single home game against Venezia in recent history
- Venezia failed to score in their first league outing and sit near the bottom
- Amorim’s men are desperate for Champions League cash this term
Tactical Analysis
Amorim is expected to line up with a high pressing setup that should overwhelm Venezia’s shaky defense especially on the counter. The away team look toothless in attack and will likely sit deep hoping for scraps but their lack of quality in front of goal has been glaring. Milan can rotate a few stars yet still have enough firepower up top to stretch the game and create multiple openings. Expect the hosts to dominate possession and push hard for an early goal to kill the contest before half time.
Betting Proposal
Given the gap in quality and Milan’s strong record at home this looks like a banker for the hosts to win comfortably. The visitors have no answer to Milan’s attacking patterns and their own leaky backline will struggle under sustained pressure.
Milan to win by two goals or more with the handicap -1.5 at odds of 2.07
