Draw will win this match.
Given their rich history it is not surprising to see the visitors dominate the hosts in their head-to-head battles, and all in all this will be the 23rd to get involved in some Genoa vs AC Milan betting.
Milan’s lead stands at 12-5 (five draws), although on Genoan soil the hosts tend to perform somewhat better and those fixtures have been shared four wins apiece (plus three draws).

Genoa are unbeaten this term on home soil so far with a win and three draws, and their ability to hold Napoli to a goalless stalemate highlights just how durable they are. They aren’t a team for the neutral spectator to behold though: their last five matches have all witnessed less than three goals.
The hosts have only been beaten once this term too, so Milan have a lot of work to do if they want to end their unbeaten run. But the Rossonerri are on a fine unbeaten streak themselves with four wins and a draw, and in defeating the likes of Lazio, Chievo and Sassuolo they have proven that they can get the better of some of Serie A’s better sides.
Genoa’s inability to defeat Pescara and Empoli on home soil, two sides in the lower reaches of the division, is perhaps evidence of their shortcomings. But clearly they are very difficult to beat, and so the draw has to be the play here.
Both teams are priced at around the 7/4 mark here, which shows just how close a match this is to call. There’s no value in handicap bets, Double Chance or anything like that, so we will have to go with the draw at 12/5, which is still a high percentage wager here.
As mentioned above, matches involving Genoa don’t tend to be high-scoring affair – their last three have gone Under 2.5 Goals, and it is a trend that Milan are happy to play a part in with 50% of their away days also ‘going under’. Let’s take Both Teams to Score – No at 5/4 here.
So far so good for Genoa, who are currently on an unbeaten run of four matches and who can climb into the top six of Serie A with victory here.
Goalkeeper:-Mattia Perin
Defenders:-Armando Izzo, Nicolas Burdisso, Lucas Orban
