Genoa
- Daniele De Rossi has set up his side in a 3-4-2-1, which can be very compact in defence and extremely effective in transition, which is where Genoa will get most of their chances in this game.
- Genoa have won four of their last five games and are enjoying a three-game winning streak coming into this matchup, so they have the confidence to take the game to the visitors.
AC Milan
- AC Milan have lost three of their last five across all competitions and have only won two, but they have split their two away games, so it's impossible to say that they are in poor form when they play on the road.
- Rúben Amorim has the team pressing higher up the field now and playing more proactively, but it remains to be seen whether he sets them up in a 4-4-1-1 system here as they have done previously, which keeps control of the game and protects the central defenders.
Head-to-Head
- AC Milan have won two of the last five meetings, with the other three ending in ties.
- Genoa have failed to win either of their last two home games against AC Milan, but are in fine form overall (W4, D0, L1).
Key Players
- But AC Milan can play through the pressure better with their rotations around Luka Modrić and Adrien Rabiot and will do all they can to keep the tempo of the match on their terms.
- Diego Moreira has scored three times in three Serie A 2026/2027 appearances and is the hottest attacker on the pitch, while Milutin Osmajic has two in four for Genoa, so they can finish when they get chances.
Betting Insights
- So the visitors arrive at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris as the top dog in this matchup and they should be able to prove it to the home crowd on Sunday, with the odds on an away win a bit too long at 1.74.
- Both teams to score looks like it will land in this one, priced at 1.9, with over 2.5 goals listed at even money.
Prediction
- It is a game that Milan have the better of in recent times, winning two of the last five and drawing the other three.
- Genoa have conceded eight in six at home and can be got at, but their 3-4-2-1 system and their wing-backs plus two supporting attackers are their biggest threat as they look to punish Milan if they overcommit.
