Venezia is hosting Milan at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo in round 21 of the Italian Serie A. Venezia is outside the relegation zone right now, they are playing a bit better, but still not good enough. Milan is playing really well, and despite missing a lot of their key players, they are winning games.

Venezia has won only 1 of their last 6 games, but that in combination with 2 draws in those 6 games, and Venezia has gotten out of the relegation zone. With 17 points, Venezia is now in 16th place, they have scored only 18 goals while conceding 34 goals. Venezia has a tough schedule ahead of them, they are facing Milan, Inter, Napoli, and the awoken Empoli. Venezia doesn’t have a lot of depth when they are healthy, but at the moment they have a few injuries, they have a couple of suspensions, and that will be a huge problem for them in this game. With 5 scored goals, Aramu is Venezia’s leading goalscorer, while Okereke has added 4 goals. Venezia is not a bad team, as we can see they can play well, but there are a lot of games left, and we will see if they can do what it takes to stay in the league.

Milan is still in second place with 45 points, which is now only 1 point less than Inter, but Inter has a game less played. Offensively, Milan is going toe to toe with the best offensive teams in the league, and those are Inter, Lazio, and Atalanta at the moment. Milan has scored 43 goals, and Ibrahimovic is their leading goalscorer with 7 goals. Theo Hernandez has added 5 assists. Milan has 3 players playing for their countries in Africa, and they also have a few injuries, but it doesn’t seem to bother them much because they have gotten used to it. As far as their schedule goes, Milan also has a few tough games ahead against Juventus, Inter, and Sampdoria, but the team in second place should not be afraid of playing big games, and I don’t think Milan is. Milan is a very experienced team, they have Ibrahimovic who can decide a game at any time despite being 40 years old, and they also have enough young players to keep them alive.

Venezia has beaten Milan only once, while Milan has lost only 1 game on the road so far this season. Milan is a much better team here despite having a lot of absent players, and I think they will get a nice win on the road.
