Milan-Genoa is a match valid for the 16th day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 8:45 p.m.: stats, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
An Abraham goal three minutes from the end last Wednesday took the chestnuts out of the fire for Milan and its coach Paulo Fonseca, giving the Rossoneri their fourth Champions League win in a row. But the Portuguese, at the end of the game, was not at all satisfied with the performance offered by his team, which risked taking just one point against Red Star: despite losing 2-1, the Serbs looked great at the San Siro.
That of the former Roma and Lille coach, who had a bit for everyone, was a real rant. He perhaps expected a different attitude after the defeat suffered a few days earlier in Bergamo against Atalanta (2-1) that probably ousted – at least for the moment – the Diavolo from the Scudetto race. Milan, back within sight of the top eight in the Champions League, is far from the top positions in the league: with one match to make up (the one postponed in October with Bologna) it is seventh, -8 from fourth place and even -12 from leading Atalanta. No missteps are allowed, then, in a match like the one with Genoa, unbeaten for five days. Five points have been won by the Rossoblù since Patrick Vieira, who took over from Gilardino during the last national team break, has been on the bench. The boring 0-0 with Torino a week ago, however, represented a step backward in terms of play, considering that against Cagliari and Udinese we had seen a more proactive and courageous Genoa compared to the previous management.
Milan-Genoa: the latest lineup news
Almost mandatory choices, especially from midfield up, for Fonseca. Pulisic is out with injury and will be out for about three weeks, but Loftus-Cheek is also hurt. Morata is also not at his best and Abraham is likely to start from 1′ after the decisive goal in the cup. Behind the former Roma player will act Chukwueze, Musah and Leao. In defense, Terracciano will challenge Theo Hernandez, who has been underwhelming in recent outings.
On the other side, Vieira should confirm more or less the eleven that drew with Torino. The only change is in defense, where Vasquez will return after being disqualified. In attack, the trident Zanoli-Pinamonti-Miretti.

The Prediction
The last victory in the San Siro rossonero by Genoa dates back to 2020 and was also the only one in the last 13 previous matches (9 successes of the Diavolo and 3 draws). Milan has rarely missed this kind of match so far and is favored for the 3 points, but we must also consider that there are Champions League fatigues to recover from and numerous absences: underestimating a Genoa side that seems to have regained certainty and solidity with the new coach could be dangerous. We do not expect a great show on the night of the “Meazza”
The probable formations of Milan-Genoa
