AC Milan vs Genoa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-12-14 19:45.
[p]After enduring a slow start to the 2024/25 season, AC Milan have since got themselves back on track to record a run of just one loss across their last nine competitive matches (W6, D2). A 2-1 victory over Red Star Belgrade in midweek UEFA Champions League action also further highlighted their strong form at San Siro of late, winning each of their last three outings at this venue which will boost spirits ahead of this clash with Genoa.[/p]
[p]But even with that upturn in form, the hosts still begin this matchday nine points adrift of the top four and with plenty of work to do to close the gap. That would be made much easier with another win here, something that appears likely as Milan have lost just one of the last 13 league H2Hs (W9, D3), whilst they’ve also netted 2+ goals in eight of their last ten competitive matches against this opposition. [/p]
[p]Genoa will arrive in Lombardy in fine recent form, which could cause their hosts plenty of problems during this latest meeting between the pair. The visitors are unbeaten across their last five league outings (W2, D3), their best such run since February 2024, and they will now look to put further distance between themselves and the relegation spots.[/p]
[p]With the two victories coming on the road, Genoa will now be looking to win three in succession on their travels in Serie A for the first time since November 2014! That could be deemed a tall order on this occasion, with the visitors last winning away to AC Milan back in March 2020 when it was played behind closed doors. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Tammy Abraham netted Milan’s Champions League winner which in turn extended his unbeaten run to 25 matches in all competitions when getting on the scoresheet (W17, D8). Former Inter Milan youngster Andrea Pinamonti has struck four opening goals for Genoa this season, whilst he scored in his last game against Milan (for Sassuolo last season). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Just one of Milan’s seven home Serie A home matches this season saw both teams score.[/p]
