LATEST FROM MILANELLO AC Milan come into this match on the back of two setbacks, a 2-0 loss to Sassuolo and a 3-2 defeat to Atalanta last time out. Their most recent victory came away from home, a 1-0 victory over Hellas Verona thanks to Adrien Rabiot's finish. The match against Genoa is an crucial chance to get back to winning ways, with the race for a place in the Champions League still wide open. The Rossoneri will be without the suspended Estupiñan, Leão and Saelemaekers.

LATEST FROM GENOA Genoa have recorded back-to-back goalless draws against Atalanta and Fiorentina. They also failed to find the net in the match before these fixtures, a 2-0 defeat to Como at the Ferraris. It’s a sign of a recent struggle in front of goal, although their campaign tally of 40 goals still places the Grifone around the middle of the scoring charts. Their most recent goal came from the spot, scored by former Rossoneri forward Colombo, who remains their top scorer this campaign with seven goals. Genoa will be without Junior Messias, another former AC Milan athlete.

PRE-MATCH STATS

AC Milan are unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 league meetings with Genoa (W10, D5). Genoa’s only victory in this run came on 8 March 2020, a 2-1 victory, with goals from Goran Pandev and Francesco Cassata for the Grifone, and Zlatan Ibrahimović for the Rossoneri.

AC Milan have won each of their last three away league games against Genoa. The Rossoneri have never recorded more consecutive away wins against the Grifone in Serie A.

Lorenzo Colombo’s first five Serie A appearances came with AC Milan between July 2020 and January 2021. The 24-year-old has scored twice against his former club in the league; only against Hellas Verona has he bagged more (four). Colombo has been involved in eight goals this campaign (7G+1A) and could match his personal best for goal involvements in a single campaign across Serie A and Serie B (also eight with Empoli in 2024/25).
