AC MILAN v GENOA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Milan have made a poor start to the season for a side of their pedigree and they are currently 15th of 20 teams. They have already lost five times this season and won just two of eight. Milan have been beaten at home in three of four matches and over that spell scored just two goals, in the same match against Cagliari, a team at the bottom end of the table. The coach is under pressure to improve results, especially after drawing against Anderlecht at home in the Champions League. Genoa are in a mid table position but have already lost three times away from home in the league. Matches involving these sides have averaged almost 2.5 goals per game this season to date.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

For Genoa Marco Borriello is a key player. He scored in their last home game, a 1-1 draw with Palermo, in which they had a relatively low share of the ball for a home team that avoided defeat. Genoa will have few scoring opportunities in this match and will have to use a projected low share of the ball efficiently if they are to score a goal. Milan’s last away result was a 0-1 defeat to Inter in the Milan Derby. They had the ball for 67% of the time but that dominance did not produce a goal. Brazilian striker Robhino is a key player but he is yet to score in the league this season. Milan should use home advantage to control the game and dominate possession.

AC MILAN - GENOA PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

In any regular season Milan would be home bankers in this match but current form points to a draw at the weekend. Genoa have won just two of eight matches this season but three draws have helped them record a solid set of results. Milan are unaccustomed to such a lowly position and will soon move up the table. However, that process may be stalled in this match which Genoa have the ability to draw.

Back the draw at 4.09 with Pinnacle Sports.

AC MILAN - GENOA PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Milan are favourites to win this match but on current form Genoa can draw at least. A home win looks unlikely in view of Milan’s latest efforts at their own stadium which means Genoa should be backed with a goal start. If Milan do win this match the supremacy is unlikely to be substantial so Genoa are the recommendation with a positive handicap of one goal.

AC MILAN - GENOA PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Milan’s last five home games have produced the same number of goals so this is unlikely to be a high scoring game. There has been just one goal in Genoa’s two latest matches on their travels so these combined figures point to less than three goals. Milan are not attacking with confidence and the Genoa defence has not conceded in two matches away from home so the form guidelines indicate under 2.5 goals.

Pinnacle Sports offer 2.08 for under 2.5 goals.
