Team Analysis
Milan is in solid form, having secured six victories in their last nine matches. Despite a recent loss to Atalanta, they managed an important win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League, enhancing their confidence. However, they face significant injury concerns, with key players such as Alvaro Morata, Noah Okafor, and Christian Pulisic potentially missing the match, which could affect their attacking options.

Genoa, under the leadership of Patrick Vieira, has experienced a resurgence, going unbeaten in their last five matches. Their defensive play has improved significantly, as seen in their last outing against Torino, where they held the opposition to a 0-0 draw. While they have distanced themselves from the relegation zone, they will be without Ruslan Malinovskyi for this clash.

Head-to-Head
Historically, AC Milan has had the upper hand against Genoa, winning 20 of their last 33 encounters. The most recent meeting ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw, but prior to that, Milan had secured five victories in six matches against Genoa. This trend suggests that Milan will be favored going into this match, especially playing on home turf.

Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams and the injuries affecting Milan's squad, the prediction leans towards a closely contested match. While Milan is expected to dominate possession and create chances, the absence of several attacking players could limit their scoring opportunities. A low-scoring affair is anticipated, with a final score of 1-0 in favor of Milan appearing plausible. The recommended option is for Genoa to cover a handicap of +1.5, reflecting their recent improvement under Vieira and Milan's potential struggles in front of goal.

Pick: Genoa +1.5
