Theo Hernandez was a key figure the last time AC Milan faced Venezia, more specifically in the 2021-22 season, as he scored a brace. A similar display will be needed next weekend as they face each other again, with the Rossoneri desperate for a win.
A lot has changed since 2021-22, also known as the Scudetto season, and Milan currently find themselves in a very difficult position. After three games, they have just two points and the game against Venezia is thus a must-win, with a good performance and strong signal needed.
Milan and Venezia have faced each other 28 times in the past and the Rossoneri have won 17 of these. They also won the most recent encounter, played at Pier Luigi Penzo Stadium, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring after just a few minutes.
Theo Hernandez, who was wearing the captain’s armband in this game, followed that up with a nice brace. One came from the left flank, another from the penalty spot and he made no mistakes on either occasion. It remains to be seen if history will repeat itself next weekend.
