Genoa vs. AC Milan: Match Prediction
Genoa feels confident at home and often achieves positive results, playing boldly and attacking actively. It's rare for Genoa not to score at home; in 7 of their last 8 home Serie A matches, the team has found the net, scoring at least two goals on three occasions. This includes breaching the defenses of Inter and Napoli, who possess strong defenses, in the current season.
Milan cannot boast reliable defensive actions, especially away from home, where they concede regularly. In this Serie A season, the team has kept a clean sheet only five times on the road, conceding a total of 23 goals in 17 matches. Furthermore, Milan has let in 14 goals in their last ten league encounters. I expect at least one goal from the hosts in this match, so my prediction: Genoa Individual Total Over 0.5
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
