Sun Apr 27 09:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Milan Faces Crucial Venezia Clash in Serie A

**VENICE, ITALY** – AC Milan will travel to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on Sunday, April 27th at 12:30 PM local time to face Venezia in a pivotal Serie A match. The clash, part of the league’s 34th round, pits a Milan side chasing European qualification against a Venezia team battling relegation.

Milan, coming off a narrow defeat to Atalanta but boosted by a 3-0 Coppa Italia victory over Inter, are aiming to return to winning ways in the league. While manager Conceição will have nearly a full squad at his disposal, Emerson Royal remains sidelined with a long-term injury, and Matteo Gabbia is a doubt. Three players – Bondo, Hernández, and Leão – are one yellow card away from suspension.

Venezia, despite their position near the bottom of the table, are in a positive run of form, losing only once in their last eight matches. A victory would move them closer to safety, potentially leapfrogging Lecce. The return of Fila from suspension strengthens their attacking options, while Sagrado and Svoboda remain injured. Idzes and Kike Pérez are on yellow card warnings.

Venezia manager Eusebio Di Francesco acknowledged Milan’s attacking threat but expressed confidence in his team’s ability to compete. “We’ll focus on ourselves, our attitude, and determination,” he stated.

The match will be broadcast on DAZN in Italy, with international viewers able to find broadcasting information on the official Milan website. Milan TV will provide extensive pre- and post-match coverage. Gianluca Manganiello will referee the encounter.

The match kicks off a busy Serie A weekend, which was rescheduled following recent national mourning. The current Serie A standings place Inter and Napoli at the top with 71 points each, while Milan sits in 8th place with 51 points.
