Team Overview
AC Milan
Milan, runners-up in Serie A last season, underwent a managerial change, bringing in Paulo Fonseca. Despite significant summer transfers, including the arrivals of Álvaro Morata, Youssouf Fofana, and Emerson Royal, the team has yet to secure a win this season. Their struggles, which include a home loss to Parma and draws against Torino and Lazio, have left fans frustrated, and Fonseca’s position is already under scrutiny.
Venezia
Venezia, managed by Eusebio Di Francesco, earned promotion back to Serie A via the playoffs. However, their return has been difficult, with just one point from their first three games. They lost to Torino and Lazio and managed a goalless draw against Fiorentina. The "Winged Lions" are still finding their footing, having undergone changes in management and a squad overhaul during the summer.
Possible Starting Lineups
AC Milan (probable lineup):
- Goalkeeper: Maignan
- Defenders: Terracciano, Pavlović, Tomori, Emerson
- Midfielders: Reijnders, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Chukwueze
- Forward: Okafor
Venezia (probable lineup):
- Goalkeeper: Joronen
- Defenders: Šverko, Svoboda, Idzes
- Midfielders: Zampano, Ellertsson, Oristanio, Nicolussi Caviglia, Duncan, Candela

Tactical Analysis and Prediction
Milan, despite their slow start, have a stronger squad and will be determined to secure a comfortable win at home. Venezia, on the other hand, has struggled in their first few games back in Serie A and is unlikely to pose a significant threat to the "Rossoneri" at San Siro.
