Inter Milan Vs Venezia – Italy Starlet Seeking His First Nerazzurri Goal At San Siro Against Familiar Opposition

Inter Milan starlet Francesco Pio Esposito will lead the line in tonight’s Coppa Italia showdown against Venezia.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 20-year-old has fond memories of his previous meeting with this opposition.

Despite his eye-catching performances, goals have eluded Francesco Pio Esposito in the first half of the season.

Indeed, the prodigious striker has only scored twice in 16 appearances across all competitions.

Furthermore, both of his goals came outside San Siro.

Esposito’s only goal at Inter’s home ground came in Italy’s dismal 5-1 home defeat to Norway in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

However, he is still waiting for his first club goal at Giuseppe Meazza.

With Cristian Chivu set to hand him another start this evening, Esposito will be keen to break the drought against Venezia.

Interestingly, the Italian center-forward scored against this opposition during his outstanding loan spell at Spezia.
