AC Milan host Venezia at San Siro on Friday evening in the second round of the 2026/27 Serie A season. Ruben Amorim's side return to home turf off the back of an opening-day win, while the visitors arrive looking to recover from a difficult start to the campaign.
Milan opened their league season with a 2-1 victory at Torino, a result that gave Amorim's early tactical blueprint its first real test in a competitive environment. Alphadjo Cisse, the summer signing who had been close to joining PSV before opting for the Rossoneri, scored on his Serie A debut and has quickly become a talking point among the San Siro faithful.
The transfer window continues to cast a shadow over the squad, with Rafael Leao's future still unresolved heading into this fixture. The Portuguese winger is absent from the matchday picture as negotiations with Galatasaray intensify, and his likely departure leaves a gap Amorim will need to fill before the window closes.
Venezia, freshly promoted and managed by Giovanni Stroppa, suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Lecce on the opening weekend. That result underlined the size of the task facing the Lagunari as they attempt to establish themselves back in the top flight after their return.
Stroppa will ask his side to be compact and hard to break down at San Siro, but Venezia arrive as clear underdogs against a Milan side that has dominated this fixture historically and carries the confidence of three points already banked.
