Odds: Genoa (14/5) Draw (23/10) AC Milan (1/1)Gamingtips Prediction – Genoa 1:2 AC Milan

Genoa finished just 6 points above the relegation zone last season and they are having a relatively good season compared with the previous one.

AC Milan, on the other-hand are having a poor season after they finished in a Champions League position last season.

Genoa have the 6th best defensive records in Seria A but one of the lowest goals scored ratios (scored 34 goals in 31 games).

AC Milan have the 10th best (or worst) defensive record in the division and the 10th best goals scored ratio.

AC Milan haven’t lost against Genoa in 5 games and while Genoa are having a much better season than last, Milan should have enough quality to overcome them and push themselves closer to a Europa League placing.

What do you think will happen?
