HEAD TO HEAD
Milan won both matches between the two sides last season, prevailing 2-1 at the San Siro in a single round of fixtures rescheduled due to last-minute winner from Alessio Romagnoli.
The Diavolo won 2-0 at Marassi in the game again with Fabio Borini and Suso each scored in the final 20 minutes to seal what was at that time a great three points.
Milan dominated the game in recent years, winning 14 league meetings last 24, losing six and drawing four.
Nonetheless, the Rossoblu has a stretch of 2014-2016 where they defeated Milan in three straight home games, the most severe to 3-0 scoreline back in October 2016.
PREDICTION
There is nothing about a crisis of this Milan side this time showing the victory sign severe against anyone, but the fact they are playing a team as much trouble should offer some comfort.
Given the circumstances, anything less than three points is not acceptable, but expect an easy ride would be foolish.
Prediction: Genoa 1-2 Milan
