Match between AC Milan and Venezia FC - Preview

San Siro opens its doors for the first home league match of AC Milan's 2026/27 campaign, and the fixture looks like a testing examination for a Venezia side already looking up at the table after one round of games. Rúben Amorim's Rossoneri enter this contest with momentum on their side, eager to make the Meazza a fortress from the opening weeks of the season.

Amorim's arrival in Milan has generated genuine excitement. The Portuguese coach made his competitive debut a winning one - goals from Alphadjo Cissé and Adrien Rabiot secured a 2-1 victory at Torino on Matchday 1 - and he has spoken openly of targeting both the Serie A title and the Europa League. That ambition is underpinned by a squad bolstered in the summer, and the clash at San Siro offers the ideal backdrop to announce Milan's intentions to the rest of the division.

Venezia, managed by Giovanni Stroppa, arrive in considerably tougher circumstances. A 0-2 home defeat to Lecce on the opening weekend leaves the club from the lagoon needing points immediately to avoid early anxiety. The Coppa Italia win over Modena - a 3-2 success - showed the squad has bite, but replicating that form in Milan's backyard is a very different proposition given the recent head-to-head record.

Head-to-Head: AC Milan vs Venezia FC

The recent history between AC Milan and Venezia FC reads almost entirely in the Rossoneri's favour: four Serie A meetings, four Milan wins, and a combined score of 11-0 in favour of the hosts. It is a record that speaks volumes about the gap between these clubs whenever they have shared top-flight football.

Recent meetings between the two clubs:

• 27 April 2025 - Serie A - Venezia FC 0:2 AC Milan
• 14 September 2024 - Serie A - AC Milan 4:0 Venezia FC
• 9 January 2022 - Serie A - Venezia FC 0:3 AC Milan
• 22 September 2021 - Serie A - AC Milan 2:0 Venezia FC

AC Milan - Recent Form

Rúben Amorim's Milan began the 2026/27 Serie A season with a composed 2-1 victory at Torino, with Alphadjo Cissé and Adrien Rabiot both on the scoresheet - a winning competitive debut for the new head coach and a statement of intent from the Rossoneri.

The summer pre-season gave a more mixed picture. Milan dismantled Manchester United 4-2 in a friendly in August but had earlier lost 0-3 to Chelsea. A 1-1 draw with rivals Inter and a 2-2 result against Celtic rounded out the warm-up schedule. Across all five recent fixtures, Milan collected 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss - scoring 9 goals and conceding 9. The competitive opener at Torino was the most meaningful result of that run, and it suggests Amorim has quickly found the right tone for his squad ahead of this first home appearance.

Venezia FC - Recent Form

Venezia's 2026/27 Serie A campaign started with a 0-2 home loss to Lecce, leaving Giovanni Stroppa's side searching for answers just one game in. Conceding twice at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo without reply was a concerning start, and the club needs a response quickly.

The summer preparations offered occasional glimpses of promise. A 3-0 win away at Galatasaray was an eye-catching result, and Venezia held Stade Brestois to a 2-2 draw. However, a 3-4 loss against Saint-Étienne - conceding four goals - raised questions about the defensive structure. The Coppa Italia brought relief in the form of a 3-2 victory over Modena in mid-August. Across the five most recent fixtures, Venezia hold a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses - 11 goals scored and 10 conceded - a tally that suggests attacking intent but also defensive fragility heading into one of the season's sternest away assignments.
