📊 Match Insights
AC Milan kicked off a new chapter with an away victory last week and will look to maintain their momentum on Friday night as Venezia comes to San Siro.
Ruben Amorim's debut match resulted in a win, while newly promoted Venezia faced defeat in their opening Serie A game.
After a disappointing end to the previous season, Milan is eager to rebuild under new leadership, starting Amorim's tenure with a match against Torino.
Despite a summer filled with significant changes, the Rossoneri took a while to find their rhythm. However, debutant Alphadjo Cisse and French international Adrien Rabiot scored in the second half, leading to a 2-1 victory.
This win marked Milan's first season opener victory since 2023, and Amorim became the first coach in a decade to win on his Serie A debut.
Returning to San Siro, the Rossoneri aim to improve on last season's home performance, where they often fell short, particularly on the final day when a loss to Cagliari denied them Champions League qualification.
In the 2025-26 season, Milan managed to win less than half of their home matches, finishing with the seventh-best home record in Serie A, so they are eager to start strong at home this time around.
Venezia, back in the top tier after climbing from Serie B, faced a tough challenge against potential relegation rivals in their opening match, raising the stakes significantly.
This marks their third return to Serie A in six years, and while they set new club records for points, goals, and wins in a single Serie B season, they suffered a defeat at home against Lecce.
