Preview
Genoa come into this after a goalless draw against Udinese in their previous Serie A clash on Sunday.
With this point, they are now winless in their last 11 matches stretching back to MD 3, when they won their first and only match of the season till date. They remain in the relegation zone with 10 points from 14 matches in 18th place.
On the other hand, Milan suffered a shock defeat at home to Sassuolo 3-1 in their previous clash.
Romagnoli scored the only goal for the hosts before being sent off while Scamacca, Kjær (og) and Berardi found the back of the net for Sassuolo.
As a result, they missed out on the chance to reduce the gap at the top of the table with Napoli.
With just 1 win from their last 5 matches across competitions, Milan is in a bit of rut and need to get back to consistent winning ways if they are to challenge for the Scudetto.
A winning return beginning here is important as they look to continue their charge. Milan remains in 2nd place after that loss with 32 points from 14 matches played.
Both sides last met in April in the Serie A 2020-21 season, where Milan won 2-1 at home.
