AC Milan vs Venezia opens the Serie A weekend at San Siro on Friday, with the hosts strong favourites after a winning start.
Milan began with a win at Torino while Venezia were beaten at home by Lecce. Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record below.
Premium Tips
Andy is with Milan, whose quality should prove far too much for a Venezia side beaten on the opening weekend.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| AC Milan to win and both teams to score – No | 6/5 | The head-to-head record is the standout angle here: Milan have won all four meetings against Venezia, scoring 11 goals without conceding a single one. That clean-sheet habit against this specific opponent, combined with Milan’s opening-weekend win at Torino and genuine title ambitions, points to another shutout. Venezia, meanwhile, arrive having already leaked two goals at home to Lecce and travel to a San Siro where the class gap is described as “stark.” A comfortable, low-event home win with Milan controlling territory and limiting Venezia’s sight of goal fits the 2-0 scoreline being predicted. |
| Goncalo Ramos to score anytime and Ruben Loftus-Cheek over 0.5 shots on target | 12/5 | With Milan expected to dominate possession and territory against a Venezia side already breached twice by Lecce, chances should fall Ramos’s way as the focal point of the attack, and he needs only one clinical finish to land this leg. Loftus-Cheek’s role sees him break forward from midfield into shooting positions regularly, and against a defence under pressure from the first whistle, even a single shot on target is a modest ask. Pairing an anytime-scorer market with a low-threshold shots prop for a supporting attacker is a sensible way to boost the odds while staying close to the expected matchup script. |

How AC Milan go into the game
Milan opened the season with a battling 2-1 win at Torino, a useful three points on the road. San Siro should expect a comfortable home win here.
With genuine title ambitions, Milan have the quality to brush aside Venezia. A dominant display is the expectation on Friday night.
How Venezia go into the game
Venezia began life back in Serie A with a 2-0 home defeat to Lecce, a tough start for the newcomers. They travel to San Siro under pressure already.
Venezia will look to stay compact and frustrate Milan, but the gulf in class is stark. Keeping the score down may be the realistic aim.
