Genoa vs AC Milan Predictions
[wptb id="391219" not found ]Milan’s Quest for Dominance: Genoa Awaits at Stadio Luigi Ferraris
Key Stats
– Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson and Mateo Retegui have each scored three goals this Serie A season, a club feat last achieved in 1977.
– Olivier Giroud boasts an impressive four Serie A goals and three assists for Milan this term.
As AC Milan steps onto the pitch at Stadio Luigi Ferraris this Saturday, there’s an atmosphere of anticipation. Despite their silence in the Champions League, the Rossoneri are making their presence felt in Serie A, claiming the second spot. Their latest performance in Europe saw them secure a second consecutive goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund. However, their domestic form paints a different picture, showcasing why they’re a force to reckon with in the Italian top flight.
The Past and The Present
Under Stefano Pioli’s guidance, Milan’s current tally of 18 points in Serie A is reminiscent of their performance during the Scudetto-winning campaign of 2021-22. In fact, they’ve only tasted defeat once this season at the hands of Inter, in a 5-1 drubbing. The Rossoneri’s recent 2-0 triumph over Lazio, with goals from their new acquisitions, Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor, underlines their title ambitions this term.
Yet, Milan’s Achilles heel has been their away form, which deterred them from securing a higher position last season. But statistics tilt in Milan’s favour when it comes to head-to-head encounters with Genoa. The Rossoneri have clinched victory in four of their last five league outings against the Grifone at Stadio Ferraris. Genoa’s last triumph against Milan on their home turf dates back to 2016.

Guided by their former forward, Alberto Gilardino, Genoa have shown resilience after their initial defeat to Fiorentina. They’ve amassed eight points from their subsequent six matches. A recent hiccup saw them concede a late own goal against Udinese, resulting in a 2-2 stalemate. Nevertheless, Genoa’s ambition remains clear: avoid relegation. But with notable victories against teams like Lazio and Roma, they’re on the hunt for bigger game, and AC Milan is a prime target.
The Key Players
Milan’s attacking prowess is evident as they are the only team in Europe’s top five leagues to have two players boasting three goals and three assists. Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao are those pivotal players, with the former tallying four Serie A goals and three assists.
Genoa have their own set of stars. Albert Gudmundsson and Mateo Retegui, both forwards, have scored thrice in the current Serie A campaign. The last time Genoa saw two of its forwards achieve this feat was way back in 1977.
Predictions
- Outcome Prediction: Taking into account the current form and past performances, Milan’s chances of clinching a win seem promising. However, with Genoa’s hunger to claim major scalps and Milan’s questionable away form, a draw is a likely outcome. Therefore, the ‘draw’ market is a prudent prediction.
- Scoreline Prediction: Given the attacking form of both teams, a 2-2 draw seems plausible. This scoreline accounts for both teams’ ability to find the net and their respective defensive vulnerabilities.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Olivier Giroud, with his consistent form and prior record, is likely to score for Milan. On Genoa’s end, Albert Gudmundsson stands out as a potential scorer, given his recent performances.
- Corner Prediction: Historically, Milan has had an edge when it comes to securing corners. A prediction of Milan securing more corners seems justified. In terms of total corners, expecting around 7-8 corners in the entire match is a reasoned estimate.
