AC Milan vs Venezia prediction

THE FORECAST

Milan, despite a significant injury list (Leao, Gimenez, Fofana, Tomori), clearly has the better credentials at home against relegation candidate Venezia, who have not scored a point or goal this season. The heat (up to 31.8°C) can somewhat slow down Milan's pressing, but Venezia has little cohesion due to a busy transfer summer (dozens of incoming and outgoing players) and faces the Coppa Italia next week, making rotation on their side more likely than at Milan. Venezia's zero offensive output and Milan's home advantage outweigh the individual absences in the home team, suggesting a controlled home victory but also a realistic risk of a poorly-scoring match.
