AC Milan - Venezia

AC Milan aim to maintain their positive start to the season as they look to overcome the absence of Rafael Leao. The hosts welcome Venezia to San Siro on 28 August 2026 for this Serie A matchday 2 encounter, hoping to build on the momentum gained from their recent 2-1 victory over Torino. With the expected XI featuring the creativity of Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot in midfield, Milan will look to control the tempo from the opening whistle.

Venezia arrive in search of a response after falling to a 0-2 defeat against Lecce in their league opener. While they showed attacking intent in a 3-2 Coppa Italia win over Modena earlier in August, the visitors face a significant challenge against a side that has historically dominated this fixture. Milan have kept clean sheets in all four of their most recent league meetings with Venezia, including a 4-0 win in September 2024.
