From our viewpoint, i Rossoneri seem most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 system, starting Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic, Zachary Athekame, Youssouf Fofana, Samuele Ricci, Adrien Rabiot, Davide Bartesaghi, Niclas Fuellkrug and Christopher Nkunku.

💭 Prediction

For this match, we think that Genoa must be fancied to get a goal against this AC Milan side, however a single goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We are therefore anticipating a narrow 1-2 advantage for AC Milan at full-time. Should be a good one.
