Paulo Fonseca will search for his inaugural victory in charge of AC Milan in Serie A on Saturday evening.
The winless Rossoneri play host to newly-promoted Venezia in Gameweek 4 in a match that represents the ultimate opportunity for their first win.
Fonseca has faced huge problems with the lack of defensive meticulousness in his team’s back line as AC Milan have allowed at least two goals in each of the opening three affairs.
The run includes a 2-2 stalemate away at Lazio two weeks ago. Fonseca has a lot of newcomers to bed in, including centre-back Strahinja Pavlovic who bagged the team’s first goal in the previous round.
Venezia secured the elite-class return after spending two years in Serie B. However, they will need something special to prevent the immediate drop according to the initial performances.
The visitors claimed just one point from the opening three fixtures, a run that includes a 0-1 home loss at the hands of Torino in the previous round.
AC Milan vs Venezia Prediction
There is a lot to like about a comprehensive home win in this match. AC Milan need a statement after such a slow start to the season and ahead of the Champions League challenges next week.
The Rossoneri possess much more quality in their ranks than Venezia. They have created loads up front once again in the previous round against Lazio.
Also, AC Milan have won each of the previous three head-to-head meetings with Venezia with a goal difference of 9-1 in the process.
