Massimiliano Allegri has built a resilient side that knows how to grind out results, evidenced by their recent 1 0 win over Cagliari. While the performance wasn’t perfect, the three points were all that mattered. Allegri mentioned that the team was flat for the first half hour, so expect a much faster start this time around. With Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao likely leading the line, the Rossoneri possess a frightening amount of pace and clinical finishing. Pulisic, in particular, has been a revelation this season with his incredible goal scoring frequency. Still, the coach will be wary of any complacency against a side fighting for their lives.
AC Milan manager Max Allegri is set to field a full-strength lineup for the upcoming clash against Genoa, prioritizing immediate results over squad rotation. Key attackers Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic are expected to start together, while Matteo Gabbia returns to the defensive line alongside Tomori and Pavlovic. Despite a congested fixture list, Loftus-Cheek will likely start on the bench as the Rossoneri aim to end their streak of dropped points at San Siro.

The statistical backing for Over 2.5 goals in this clash is incredibly compelling. When looking at Genoa’s away record, a massive 88% of their matches have ended with at least three goals scored. This is largely due to their defensive struggles, as they concede an average of 1.88 goals per game on the road. AC Milan, playing at home, averages 1.67 goals scored per match. When you combine Milan’s attacking efficiency, led by Pulisic’s goal every 76 minutes, with Genoa’s leaky defense, the recipe for a high scoring game is clear. Furthermore, the overall average for total goals per match between these two sides stands at 2.97. Genoa’s desperation for points might force them to play more expansively, which usually leads to they being caught out on the break by Milan’s pacey forwards like Rafael Leao. Expect a lively encounter with plenty of clear chances.
