AC Milan vs Genoa Match Analysis & Prediction
05/05/2024 7:00 pm
Winless in their last five matches, AC Milan will be looking to get back on track when they play host to Genoa at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday.
Less than a week after suffering their sixth straight defeat in the Derby della Madonnina – with a painful loss to Inter Milan also seeing the Nerazzurri crowned champions – Milan managed to come away from Turin with a point last time out, as they held third-placed Juventus goalless.
Although that result jept the Rossoneri five points above their main rivals to finish second behind Inter, it also extended their wait for a win to almost a month.
As speculation persists about the identity of their incoming manager, Milan will try to avoid suffering three straight home defeats for the first time since 2014, as a capable Genoa side arrice at San Siro seeking to cause an upset.
While Genoa may sense victory could be possible, given their hosts’ recent woes, they have lost their last four Serie A matches against Milan ahead of this week’s trip to the second city.
Nonetheless, Monday’s 3-0 victory over Cagliari boosted confidence in the camp after a previous run of just six points from as many games dented hopes of a top-half finish.
Iceland international Albert Gudmundsson will try to help his team win back-to-back league matches for just the second time this season, while Genoa are also seeking successive clean sheets for the first time since returning to Serie A.
Overseen by up-and-coming coach Alberto Gilardino – a former Milan striker – Genoa have lost just one of their last nine away matches, so they may fancy their chances of achieving both feats this weekend.
