Milan vs Venezia: Team News and Expert Analysis
The giants from San Siro, after a disastrous season before last, brought back Allegri as head coach, under whom they had once been champions. Up until spring, it seemed realistic to challenge their neighbors, Inter, for the scudetto. However, failures in the final stretch led to defeat in the race for fourth place and the right to play in the Champions League, losing out to the much more modest neighbors, Como. The new coach, Ruben Amorim, made his debut last week against Torino. Milan won thanks to a goal and an assist from substitute Rabiot.
The visitors from the popular tourist center have become something of an "elevator team" in football terms. After being promoted to Serie A in 2024, they stood little chance of staying up. However, in the following season in Serie B, they achieved optimal results, becoming leaders. Their new start against Lecce was unsuccessful: they had no response to a couple of goals from their opponents and ultimately lost 0-2.
Modrić and his teammates averaged 1.69 goals scored per match, while Maignan conceded only 0.92 on average. The Serie B winners managed to both score a lot, averaging 2.03 goals, and concede just 0.82.
