Ruben Amorim’s Rossoneri have hit a snag
AC Milan are the clear favourites for Friday's Serie A clash with SSC Venezia at the San Siro, which is why it is tempting to take the visitors in this early-season Serie A encounter.
Ruben Amorim has been AC Milan head coach since 16 June 2026, but the Rossoneri have yet to get into their stride. Amorim's signature style of play is possession-based and structured, starting with a three-at-the-back base, but it also features triggers for high pressing and vertical attacks.
Milan will therefore try to push Venezia deep and win the ball back high up the field, but they have won only 1 of their last 5 in all competitions, drawing 2 and losing 2. Across their last 10, their record reads 3-3-4, which is not good enough for a club of this stature. They have drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 3 at home, while only scoring 3 goals in that sequence, so Milan are not clicking as a team right now.
Stroppa’s side are a different style of team
SSC Venezia are a very different style of football team to Amorim's Milan, but that doesn't mean they are an inferior one. Giovanni Stroppa has been in charge since 1 July 2025 and has maintained a flank-heavy, attacking identity that gives his side great potency in transition and when they overload wide areas.
This fixture should set up a clash of styles with Milan trying to control the ball and press high up the pitch while Venezia will press selectively and look to get in behind or hurt the Rossoneri on the counter.
Venezia's road record is 2-2-1 in their last 5. They have been a sharp side across all competitions, winning 7 of their last 10, drawing 2 and only losing once.
Venezia could get a result
On paper, AC Milan should win this game, but Venezia are in red-hot form and Milan aren't looking like a team that has found its identity just yet. Back Venezia for a double chance in this clash, taking the game to San Siro with a mindset to counter-attack Milan when they do get the ball.
There's a clear chance for a tense game in this matchup of Milan's control vs Venezia's counter-punching and so the market looks too narrow for the favourites at around 3/10 with the draw at 4/1 and Both Teams To Score No at 11/20. We're rolling with BTTS No and Under 2.5 goals at 49/50.
