AC Milan – Genoa : Preview & Prediction
AC Milan are having a good season, but they paid off Mike Maignan’s injury with a few saves in the league. Long ahead of Inter and in the fight with Napoli for first place, it is now the other side Milan who are ahead with 1 point more (and one game less). Milan will have to play the cup thoroughly, and offer the same content as in the last three games, including the solid victory against Roma. AC must build up confidence ahead of three tough matches against Spezia, Juventus and the Madonnina Derby against Inter in early February.
The Genoa is doing badly, very badly even. Coach Andriy Shevchenko, who arrived during the season, is no longer in the smell of holiness, and some dismissal rumors are starting to grow. And for good reason, the Genoa are penultimate in the Italian league with 5 points behind the first non-relegation (who also has a game behind), and will have to be very, very solid to validate his maintenance. The Genoa remain on a very bad streak in the league, and have only been able to count on the cup to be successful since September …
Milan remains on three consecutive victories against Empoli (2-4), Roma (3-1) and Venice (0-3).
Genoa is penultimate in Serie A with a record of just 1 win, 9 draws and 11 defeats.
The Genoa remains on four games without a TTC victory (1-0 against Salernitana in mid-December in the Cup).
In the league, Genoa have not won in 18 matches.
The prediction “over 1.5” has passed during the last 7 confrontations between the two teams.
In their showdown this year, Milan won 0-3 on December 1.
Milan start quite logically and widely favorite in this meeting, and will have to assume his status. A fourth consecutive victory would obviously not be too much, and it would be a real failure to fail at home in the 8th Cup against the second to last in the championship. We should also be entitled to at least two goals in the game, as was the case in 8 of Milan’s last 9 games, and in 5 of Genoa’s last 8. Victory for Milan and more than 1.5 in the match!
