AC Milan will go into the encounter following on from a 0-2 Serie A win to defeat Venezia in their most recent fixture.

In that game, AC Milan had 50% possession and 12 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. For AC Milan, goals were scored by Christian Pulišić (5') and Santiago Giménez (96'). Venezia had 15 attempts at goal with 2 on target.

A run of resolute showings from the AC Milan defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their past 6 outings combined. Over that same time, their own attack force has managed to score 12. While that may be of interest, time will tell whether that pattern shall be maintained in this upcoming match.

Leading up to this clash, AC Milan:

• are undefeated by Genoa in games played away from home for the previous 6 league matches. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.

🗞️ Team News: Genoa

Hugo Cuenca (unknown injury), Jean Onana (unknown injury), Fabio Miretti (Shoulder injury), Ruslan Malinovskyi (bruise), Caleb Ekuban (unknown injury), Mario Balotelli (Broken hand) and Maxwel Cornet (Muscle strain) won’t be playing for Genoa gaffer Patrick Vieira.

It’s our opinion that Il Grifone will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Nicola Leali, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Koni De Winter, Johan Vasquez, Aaron Martin Caricol, Morten Frendrup, Milan Badelj, Junior Messias, Patrizio Masini, Morten Thorsby and Andrea Pinamonti.

📰 Team News: AC Milan

AC Milan manager Sérgio Conceição has to currently contend with reduced team options. Warren Bondo (Ankle sprain), Tammy Abraham (Thigh problems) and Riccardo Sottil (unknown injury) will not be playing here.

It’s our belief that i Rossoneri will likely elect for a 3-4-3 system, settling for Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic, Alex Jimenez, Youssouf Fofana, Tijjani Reijnders, Theo Hernandez, Christian Pulisic, Luka Jovic and Rafael Leao.

✨ Prediction

Genoa will have to work hard as a team to score goals against this AC Milan outfit who we reckon will score at least once to put them ahead.

We’re therefore predicting a good tussle with a 0-1 winning margin for AC Milan when the full-time whistle blows.

Looking forward to this.
