Milan will host Venezia in the second round of the Italian championship on 28 August 2026, with the Rossoneri backed to claim another victory and win by a margin of at least one goal.
The match brings together two sides who began the new campaign in contrasting fashion. Milan opened their domestic season with a 2-1 victory over Torino, while Venezia suffered a 2-0 defeat by Lecce in their first league fixture.
Milan’s preparations for the new Italian championship included four friendly matches. The club recorded one win, one defeat and two draws during that run. Their pre-season campaign began with a heavy 3-0 loss against Chelsea, but they responded by beating Manchester United 4-2.
That victory over Manchester United was followed by a successful start to the league season. Milan overcame Torino 2-1 in the opening round, giving the Rossoneri an early boost before their meeting with Venezia.
Venezia, meanwhile, began their competitive campaign in the Coppa Italia. They defeated Modena 3-2 in their opening match of the tournament, but were unable to carry that momentum into the league. Lecce won their first championship meeting 2-0, leaving Venezia without a point from their opening domestic fixture.
The Venice-based side had also played two friendly matches before the competitive season started. They lost 4-3 to Saint-Etienne and drew 2-2 with Brest.
Milan therefore enter this fixture with the stronger recent league result, while Venezia will be hoping to recover from their defeat by Lecce. The prediction is that the home side will control the game and finish with a victory on the goals handicap. The Rossoneri are expected to produce a successful performance and secure a convincing result.
The recommended betting option is a Milan win with a goals handicap. The match is expected to prove an interesting contest, but the hosts are considered the more likely side to take advantage of their stronger start to the season.
