Venezia continue their fight to stay in the Italian top flight at least for another season when they host European football chasers AC Milan on Sunday.
The hosts returned to Serie A this season for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign and, as expected, have not had an easy ride. Eusebio Di Francesco's men have taken just 25 points from their 33 games so far with just four wins, the second fewest of any side in the division this season. But with just one point separating them from safety, a win over Milan this week could be hugely significant.
Milan, meanwhile, only seem to turn up when they play neighbours Inter. The Rossoneri cruised to a 3-0 win over league leaders in the Coppa Italia semi-final in midweek, but they don't want to be reminded of their league position and form. Sérgio Conceição's side won just one of their last four league games and boast just one clean sheet from their last eight Serie A fixtures.
Venezia vs AC Milan Betting Tips: Under 3.5 goals
Venezia have already shown this season that they are capable of causing problems for any side at this ground. Leoni Alati avoided defeat in six of their last nine home games, and didn't concede more than one goal in any of those encounters. That's impressive considering hosted the likes of Inter, Lazio, Roma and Napoli in that time.
AC Milan have been unpredictable this season, especially in the league, and while I back them to take all three points given their good record against Venezia, I expect a tight game.
