Milan to maintain title challenge in Venice
4827

In one of Serie A’s early kick-offs on Sunday, Venezia host title-chasing Milan at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo.

Venezia are in a potentially perilous position in the Italian top-flight table, as they are 16th place in the table. However, the Venice outfit are still four points clear of the relegation zone, so they have a slight buffer to danger.

A 3-1 home defeat in their final game of 2021 means that Venezia are winless in six Serie A games, having suffered four defeats in the process. They have also conceded at least two goals in four of their previous six matches in the Italian top-flight.

Venezia really have struggled for home wins in the league in recent weeks, as they have now suffered defeats in three of their last four home matches in Serie A. They have also conceded at least two goals in five of their last six home games in the Italian top-flight.

Milan moved to within a point of arch-rivals and league leaders Inter last time out by recording a 3-1 win over Roma at San Siro. Simone Inzaghi’s team does still have a game in hand on the Rossoneri though.

The victory over the Giallorossi means that the visitors have now recorded back-to-back wins, despite several key absences in recent weeks through injury and illness.

The visitors have also been relatively prolific of late in the Italian top-flight, scoring at least two goals in four of their previous six league matches.

Milan have a good recent away record in the Italian top-flight, having recorded wins in six of their previous eight league matches on their travels.

The key to the Rossoneri’s recent good away form is dangerous attacking play, as they have scored at least two goals in seven of their previous eight away games in Serie A.

Forebet predicts that Milan will continue their stellar recent away form by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their title hopes.
