Genoa vs AC Milan prediction

THE FORECAST

AC Milan carry a significant injury crisis with 12 players unavailable, but their superior league position, better scoring rate (2.1 vs 1.0 gf) and defensive solidity still make them slight favourites on the road. Genoa's impressive recent form (three consecutive wins) and a fully rested squad (7 days rest vs Milan's 3) offer a genuine competitive edge, narrowing the gap considerably. Milan's short turnaround from the Europa League and Amorim reportedly rotating after a disappointing result against Ferencváros adds further rotation risk, keeping this a tightly contested affair.
