Genoa vs AC Milan Match Summary

Genoa host AC Milan at Luigi Ferraris on Sunday in Serie A. It is the last league fixture for both clubs before the November international break.

Daniele De Rossi's Genoa arrive in rare form, having won their last three Serie A matches. They sit 12th in the log, but nobody should call them a pushover right now.

Rúben Amorim's AC Milan arrive fifth in the log. Their 3-1 league win over Inter Milan showed exactly what this attack can do once it gets going.

The head-to-head offers Genoa little comfort. They have failed to beat Milan in the previous six meetings, and Milan have won half of those, with the rest drawn.

Genoa vs AC Milan Form

Genoa's winning run has a clear pattern: they have been ahead at half-time and full-time in each of their last three Serie A outings. De Rossi's side are starting fast instead of scrambling late. With Milutin Osmajić and Lorenzo Colombo leading the line and Morten Frendrup running the engine room, they look stubborn and direct.

Nine of Milan's last 10 Serie A matches have passed without defeat. Adrien Rabiot is the man making it tick, with a goal or an assist in every one of his last five Serie A outings. The one blot is in Europe, where they slipped up against Ferencváros in the Europa League.

Genoa have struggled against through balls and skilful runners, which is exactly where Rabiot and Pulisic do their best work.

Best Bets

AC Milan to win (Win Market) The first of our Genoa vs AC Milan best bets backs the away side, who are the favourites here for good reason. Milan have been level at half-time and ahead at full-time in their last 3 away matches against Genoa in all competitions, so a slow start from them is no reason to panic.

Genoa vs AC Milan Bet Builder

Our Genoa vs AC Milan bet builder tips put three legs on the Milan attack: Adrien Rabiot to score anytime, AC Milan over 1.5 away goals and Christian Pulisic to land a shot on target.

Rabiot is red-hot, having found the net in all four of his most recent Serie A appearances. Arriving late from the middle of the attacking trio, he is the hardest Milan man for Genoa to track.

Milan's latest four Serie A matches have each brought two or more goals for them. Against a Genoa defence that struggles with through balls, that is a fair ask on the road.

Genoa have not stopped Pulisic testing the goalkeeper in any of his five previous Serie A meetings with them, with at least one shot on target every time. Starting off the left, he can expect plenty of looks at goal.

That completes the build: three legs, all hanging on Milan's front line finding its usual rhythm.

Genoa vs AC Milan Talking Points

Genoa are chasing a fourth straight league win. Land it, and they will have strung together a run they have not managed in a single top-flight campaign since April 2009. Out wide, Stephan El Shaarawy against Mario Gila and Diego Moreira is the duel to watch, while Gonçalo Ramos against Leo Østigård decides who rules the box. The late game matters too: Genoa are the only Serie A side yet to score off the bench this league season, while Milan's goals have tended to arrive in the stretch just after the hour.
