AC Milan vs Venezia Match Summary
Competition | Italian Serie A |

Match Date | Friday 28 August 2026 |
Match Time | 19:45 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Milan, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza |
AC Milan welcome Venezia to San Siro on Friday night, and this looks a heavy mismatch on paper in the Serie A table.
The hosts opened the campaign with a 2-1 win away at Torino, so they arrive with three points banked and the backing of a full house behind them.
Venezia, back in the top flight this season, made a sluggish start with a 2-0 home defeat to Lecce and now face a step up in class.
The Milan side have won their last five meetings with Venezia in all competitions, so this fixture carries a clear favourite.
AC Milan vs Venezia Form
Milan sit sixth for both standing and form after opening with that 2-1 win at Torino, where Alphadjo Cissè and Adrien Rabiot got on the scoresheet. Their strengths are clear, attacking down the wings and creating chances, and there have been over 2.5 goals in each of their last four Serie A outings. The engine room of Jashari and Musah pulls the strings.
Venezia, freshly promoted back to Serie A, sit 18th for standing and form after a flat 2-0 opening defeat. They have failed to win 20 of their last 22 Serie A matches and have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three, so finishing and stopping opponents creating chances are glaring weaknesses. Yeboah and Adams carry their counter-attacking threat up top.

Injuries & Suspensions
AC Milan: S. Giménez (Injured/out), R. Leão (Injured/doubtful)

AC Milan
Milan line up in a 3-4-2-1, with Maignan behind a back three of Gila, De Winter and Pavlovic. Giménez is sidelined by an ankle problem while Leão is a doubt with a muscle strain, so Ramos leads the line with Cissè and Loftus-Cheek operating between the lines. Estupiñán and Chukwueze provide the width.
Venezia
Venezia set up in a rugged 3-5-2, with Stankovic in goal behind Bella-Kotchap, Schingtienne and Franjic. Long-term absentees Sverko and Adorante remain unavailable. Basic and Busio anchor the engine room, tasked with breaking up play, while Yeboah and Adams pair up top as the outlet on the counter.

AC Milan vs Venezia Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This is a comfortable home job. Milan are heavy favourites at 1/2 with StarSportsBet, the head-to-head is one-way traffic and Venezia arrive off a defeat with a leaky rearguard. Our prediction is a 3-0 home win, in line with the projected scoreline.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market for AC Milan vs Venezia. The engine points to a high-scoring night, with a projected total of 2.96 goals and better than an even implied probability of Over 2.5 landing. Milan's recent Serie A outings have sailed past this line, so there is real weight behind it.
Matias Goncalo Ramos in the Anytime Goalscorer market for AC Milan. Leading the line as the central striker, Ramos carries a strong implied probability of finding the net against a Venezia defence that has conceded at least two goals in each of its last three Serie A outings. That is a favourable matchup for the frontman.
AC Milan vs Venezia Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder backs an AC Milan win, Matias Goncalo Ramos to score anytime, both teams to score and Kike Perez to be shown a card at San Siro.
The Milan win is the anchor. They have won their last five meetings with Venezia and kept it tight, without conceding, in each of the last four Serie A head-to-heads.
Ramos leads the line as the main striker against a Venezia side that has shipped at least two goals in three straight Serie A games, so the goalscorer leg makes sense.
Both teams to score adds value, with over 2.5 goals in Milan's last four Serie A outings and Venezia looking to spark fast transitions through Yeboah and Adams.
Perez sits in central midfield tasked with breaking up play against Milan's attacking setup, so the card leg completes the ticket nicely.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 19.12/1 and is as short as 14/1 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £51 from best to worst price.

AC Milan vs Venezia Talking Points
This is a first competitive home outing at San Siro for the new Milan boss, and the numbers point one way. The hosts have won five straight against Venezia, kept clean sheets in four of them and scored at least twice in each of the last five. Teenager Alphadjo Cissè, who scored on his competitive debut in the win at Torino, is one to watch between the lines, while the visitors, 18th for form and freshly promoted, must survive a stubborn Milan press and rely on Yeboah and Adams to trouble a settled home defence.
