Venezia vs AC Milan Prediction
AC Milan have suffered a discernible slump in recent weeks and will need to work hard to give Inter Milan a run for their money this season. The Rossoneri were impressive against Jose Mourinho's AS Roma this week and will want to tap into their early-season form this weekend.
Venezia have been inspirational over the past year but have their work cut out for them against a bonafide Serie A giant. AC Milan have been the better team this season and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Venezia 0-3 AC Milan
