- Genoa have won four and lost one of their last five, including their last three home games.
- However, the Grifone have failed to beat AC Milan in two attempts during that run.
Grifone have been nipping at Milan’s heels
Genoa are the form side coming into the Serie A 2026-2027 clash at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will get the better of the Rossoneri, who have a 5th place to Genoa's 11th with 21 points compared to 13 after ten games.
The hosts have won their last two games - a 2-0 victory over Juventus here and a 2-1 win at Lecce, but they've also failed to win their last two at home to Milan, who won the reverse fixture 2-1 five months ago in the previous Serie A campaign, so the visitors have the psychological edge.
Daniele De Rossi has set up his Grifone side in a 3-4-2-1 formation that will get men behind the ball and try to spring their attackers on the break. It's a strategy that has worked to perfection in their two recent wins and Milutin Osmajic's two goals in four games for the Grifone make him the most trusted finisher on the pitch when they get their opportunities.
Rossoneri more powerful, but Grifone can nick a goal
Milan will arrive knowing that they need to press higher and keep Genoa out of the game. Rúben Amorim's men have pressed higher up the pitch in recent weeks and have been more positive in terms of trying to play through the thirds with a likely 4-4-1-1 formation here designed to keep the ball in the center and control the tempo.
Diego Moreira's three goals in three Serie A 2026/2027 games make him the hottest player on either side, but the real threat will come from how Milan rotate their midfield around the veteran Luka Modrić and Rabiot's energy. They beat Inter Milano 3-1 at home, but have also leaked goals to Bologna (2-4) and Ferencvarosi TC (0-2) so this game is going to see a balance of chances.
AC Milan have won two of the last five meetings, with three draws, and have a mixed recent form, so we are backing an away win at 37/50, while both teams to score is coming in at 9/10 and there looks to be enough juice in the game for over 2.5 goals, which is live at 1/1.
