AC Milan will look to make it two wins from two under Ruben Amorim after an impressive away victory last weekend.
The hosts began the Amorim era with a 2-1 victory away to Torino in the opening game of the new campaign.
The result was particularly significant for the Rossoneri, who had failed to win their opening league fixture in either of the previous two seasons.
The Portuguese coach will now oversee his first competitive match at San Siro, where Milan struggled for consistency last season.
Heading into this clash, Amorim has won back-to-back games with Milan after struggling in their first three pre-season friendlies.
They also have a strong record against Venezia, winning their last five and staying unbeaten in their last six meetings.
Venezia, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Lecce on the opening weekend following their promotion from Serie B.
Giovanni Stroppa's side had enjoyed an excellent second-tier campaign, which saw them gain promotion to Serie A, but their return to the top flight began with disappointment.
The Lagunari are determined to avoid another immediate relegation after their previous two promotions ended with a swift return to Serie B.
History also makes this an intimidating fixture for Venezia, as they have never beaten Milan at San Siro in Serie A, losing eight and drawing three of their previous 11 such contests.
With Milan carrying the momentum of an opening-day victory and Venezia searching for their first points of the campaign, the hosts will be expected to maintain their strong record in this fixture.
