Genoa

vs

AC Milan

Preview

Genoa (home)

• Genoa have won six, drawn four and lost eight of their 18 home Serie A matches this season.
• Genoa are 14th with 41 points from 36 games.
• Genoa's two most recent games have both been 0-0 draws, so they have been defensively solid of late.
• There has been a goal drought in two of Genoa’s last three games.
• The absence of a true goal-getter up top for the Grifone is reflected in only 21 goals scored in 18 home matches.

AC Milan (away)

• AC Milan have won 10, drawn five and lost just three of their 18 away Serie A games this season.
• AC Milan are fourth in Serie A with 67 points from 36 games.
• AC Milan have only won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five.
• Massimiliano Allegri has done a similar job since taking charge at Milan in July 2025, bringing tactical discipline and a controlled build-up from the back.
• AC Milan's last home game against Atalanta saw them lose 3-2.

Head-to-Head

• The last meeting between these sides finished 1-1, with AC Milan winning two of the most recent five and Genoa none (three draws).
• There is no recent precedent for the hosts, who have not beaten Milan in their last two home games.

Key Players

• Top scorers:
  • Rafael Leao is Milan’s most reliable source of goals with nine in 28 Serie A appearances.
  • Lorenzo Colombo is Genoa’s leading marksman with seven in 36 games.

Betting Insights

• Genoa’s recent lack of goals points to a low-scoring matchup as both sides will be looking to keep things tight.
• Backing both teams not to score looks a solid play for this clash.
• The under 2.5 goals market also appeals with the game likely to be cagey and with few chances for either side.

Prediction

• AC Milan will probably be satisfied with a draw when they travel to Genoa as they look to steady the ship after two consecutive defeats.
• Their solid record away makes Milan favourites to get the result they need.
• The evidence from recent head-to-head meetings suggests a draw could be the most likely outcome.
