Venezia vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-04-26 10:30.
[p]After squandering the lead in a 2-2 draw at Empoli last weekend, Venezia have now dropped a league-high 28 points from winning positions this term. Had they held on to retain just half of those 28 points, they’d be sitting in the safety of mid-table, but instead they start this round inside the bottom three, and with four of their remaining five matches against teams starting this round in the top ten, it could be a nervous end to the season.[/p]
[p]AC Milan are the first up on the list, but despite Venezia’s lowly league position, Eusebio Di Francesco’s team are still tough to beat, with only Bologna defeating them across the last eight competitive matches (W1, D6). The sole win in that sequence came in their last home outing against bottom-placed Monza (1-0), and hopes of avoiding an immediate return to Serie B could be boosted by securing back-to-back Serie A home wins for the first time since January 2000.[/p]
[p]Milan thrashed arch-rivals Inter 3-0 on Wednesday (4-1 on aggregate) to advance to the Coppa Italia final and keep alive their hopes of continental action next season. That seems likely to be their best route into Europe as Sérgio Conceição’s men start this round eight points behind the top six, and with only five matches left in the season, that may remain a gap too difficult to bridge.[/p]
[p]Four successive H2H wins would hint that they can keep up the pressure on those above them here and recent form against struggling sides suggests Milan will fancy their chances. They boast a formidable record this season against sides starting this round in the bottom four, winning all six games, with five of those accompanied by a clean sheet, including the reverse fixture.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Hans Nicolussi Caviglia assisted Venezia’s first goal in their 2-2 draw against Empoli, but could go one better and get on the scoresheet here given three of his four league goals this season came at this venue. It took Luka Jović until March to score his first goal of the season, but he now has four in his last five club games, including a brace in Milan’s derby win on Wednesday.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Venezia’s last 11 league matches stood goalless at the break.[/p]
