Our pre-match preview has the latest team news and some opposition insight, while below are the key stats ahead of tonight’s game.

➤ Milan have won 10 of their last 13 Serie A games against Venezia, including a 2-0 awarded win in 1963 (D2 L1) – the only win for the Venetians in the period was on 19 March 2000 (1-0 with a goal netted by Filippo Maniero).

➤ Milan haven’t lost in 12 of their 13 home games against Venezia in Serie A (W8 D4); the only away win for the Venetians against the Rossoneri in the top flight was in November 1942 (2-1 at the Arena Civica in that case, with goals by Puppo and Pernigo).

➤ Milan haven’t won any of their last five league games (D3 L2). The Rossoneri could register a longer streak without a win in Serie A for the first time since March and April 2018 (six in that case under Gennaro Gattuso).
