Genoa welcome the visit of giants AC Milan to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Serie A action on Sunday. Genoa are placed 14th in the table on 41 points, and their fight against relegation was successful this year, as they will be staying in the top flight.
Last Sunday, Genoa drew 0-0 against Fiorentina at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. The Viola dominated possession, shots on target, and accurate passes, so Genoa were fortunate to claim a share of the spoils.
Thanks for the submission!
Meanwhile, Milan occupy the final UEFA Champions League qualification spot, fourth place with 67 points. The Rossoneri have been in poor form in recent weeks, dropping points and terrifying fans with a Champions League return hanging by a thread.
Fortunately for Massimiliano Allegri’s team, they know that two wins in the final two games will ensure a return to the top club competition in Europe. It is in their hands to make it happen, but they will have to overcome their recent lethargy.
Milan’s most recent match was a 3-2 home loss to Atalanta on Sunday. That result escalated the pressure on Allegri and his men, and they know that only two victories against Genoa and Cagliari will do.
Genoa vs AC Milan head-to-head stats and key numbers

Genoa vs AC Milan prediction
Milan have a few key players missing through injury and suspension, with Luka Modric recovering from a cheekbone fracture, while Rafael Leao, Alexis Saelemaekers, and Pervis Estupinan are all suspended.
Genoa have been defensively solid under Daniele De Rossi, and Milan have struggled to find the back of the net in the last two months. Still, they are highly motivated to secure a UEFA Champions League spot, and we expect them to find a way to beat the Rossoblu.
