AC Milan comes into this one with a one win and zero loss record, and they are looking every bit like a top five offensive unit. The model has their offense ranked 5th out of 20 teams, which is bad news for a Venezia defense that currently sits down at 16th. Milan is averaging 2.0 goals per game while only giving up 1.0 on the defensive end. That kind of balance is exactly what we look for when we are laying wood on a heavy favorite. Venezia, on the other hand, is struggling to find the back of the net. They are ranked 18th in offensive efficiency and they are facing a Milan defense that is comfortably mid table at 12th. The math here is simple. Venezia allows 2.0 goals per game, and Milan's attack is designed to exploit exactly those kinds of gaps. Our model puts the win probability for the Rossoneri at a massive 86 percent. That gives us a 12.7 percent edge even at the current minus 275 price point. The spread line is sitting around minus 1.25, but the model thinks it should be closer to minus 1.4. Milan should control the tempo from the opening whistle, and they have the depth to keep the pressure on for all ninety minutes. And honestly, Venezia just does not have the firepower to keep up if this turns into a track meet. It is a strong play on the home side to take care of business.

The public often looks at a minus 275 price and thinks there is no value, or they try to hunt for a draw to get a big payout. But the data shows Milan is winning this game nearly nine times out of ten. Don't overthink it by trying to be too clever with a Venezia double chance.
