In Round 16 of Serie A, AC Milan will host Genoa at the iconic San Siro (Giuseppe Meazza Stadium). Both teams are coming into this match with something to prove, with Milan looking to bounce back after a loss, and Genoa aiming to extend their unbeaten streak.
AC Milan
Paulo Fonseca’s men have been impressive this season, maintaining a seven-game unbeaten streak before a narrow 1-2 away loss to Atalanta in their last league outing. Álvaro Morata scored the lone goal for the Rossoneri in that match. Currently, Milan sits 7th in the Serie A table with 22 points from 14 games and a goal difference of 24:16.
Christian Pulisic has been a standout player for Milan, leading their scoring chart with five goals and four assists. At home, the Rossoneri have been dominant, winning six of their last 10 matches, with two draws and two losses.
Genoa
Under Patrick Vieira, Genoa have been improving steadily. They are on a five-game unbeaten streak since November, including a goalless draw against Torino in their last match. Genoa currently occupies 14th place in Serie A with 15 points and a goal difference of 13:24.
Andrea Pinamonti is Genoa’s top scorer, with five goals and one assist to his name. Away from home, Genoa has had a mixed record, winning three and losing three of their six games.
Player to Watch: Samuel Chukwueze
The Nigerian midfielder has struggled to find the net in Serie A this season, with just one goal in October against Udinese. However, he showed his potential in the Coppa Italia, scoring a brace against Sassuolo in early December.
Betting Tip: 1xBet offers odds of 3.5 for Samuel Chukwueze to score against Genoa.
