Serie A – Genoa vs AC Milan: Betting Preview

Tonight’s midweek Serie A game will see AC Milan take a trip to Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris to face Genoa. Although Rossoneri has been doing pretty well for themselves in the Italian top-flight, this result could go anywhere. However, Stefano Pioli will expect a good display from his side against the hosts who are currently lying in the relegation zone. Moreover, they have the opportunity to level points with league leaders Napoli if their result against Sassuolo goes the wrong way tonight.

Rossoblu have managed to achieve just 10 points in their opening 14 fixtures in Serie A so far and there have been signs of worry as they head towards the contention of getting kicked out for the next term. But, it is still the beginning of the season, and things could change for them on the way. Nevertheless, Genoa hope to pull something from tonight’s game against the struggling visitors.

It was followed by a win against Atletico Madrid by 1-0 in the Champions League. However, Milan lost to Sassuolo by 3-1 at San Siro in their latest encounter in Serie A.
