A chance to strengthen Milan’s position
AC Milan’s recent dominance of this fixture meets a confident Genoa side on Sunday, with the visitors aiming to protect their unbeaten record in the matchup and build on their place in Serie A’s top five.
Milan sit fifth with 21 points after 10 matches, six places and eight points above 11th-placed Genoa. The hosts have 13 points, while both clubs come into the game after winning their most recent league match.
Genoa’s winning run, Milan’s firepower
Genoa have won their last three league matches and taken four victories from their last five, scoring seven goals and conceding four in that stretch. At home, they have three wins, a draw and two defeats in six league games.
Milan’s last five have brought three wins, a draw and a defeat, with 11 goals scored and eight conceded. Across 10 league matches, they have six wins, three draws and one defeat. Their away record is unbeaten: two wins and three draws from five games, with eight goals scored and five conceded.
Milan have had the upper hand
AC Milan are unbeaten in the last five meetings, winning twice while the other three ended level. Genoa did not win any of those encounters. The most recent meeting, in May, finished Genoa 1-2 AC Milan; two of the five matches featured no more than two goals.
That record gives the visitors a clear recent edge, though Genoa’s current run offers a reason to expect a competitive contest.
One absence for Genoa
L. Venturino is set to miss the match for Genoa with a knee condition.
Milan’s attack against Genoa’s home resistance
Milan have scored 21 goals in 10 league matches, compared with Genoa’s 10. The hosts have been more difficult to break down lately, conceding four goals across their last five league games, and have kept two clean sheets at home.
Milan have also shown resilience on the road, avoiding defeat in all five away league matches. Their ability to turn that unbeaten away sequence into a win will be central to the visitors’ challenge.
Our prediction
Genoa’s three consecutive wins make this a demanding visit, but Milan’s stronger scoring record and unbeaten away run point to a narrow edge. PreviaXI’s model also favours the visitors, with a close, low-scoring result the likeliest outcome.
