A swift look at the Serie A standings hint of an advantage to Milan when they travel to Genoa. Yet; let's play before we hand out the points!
- Genoa have the fewest points (3) at home in Serie A
- Milan have scored at least twice as many goals away as Genoa have scored home.
It's no vacation for neither Genoa nor Milan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Genoa form and stats
Genoa's results here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in the Serie A have been very modest with 0 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.
Genoa are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 181 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by F. Bianchi).
Genoa manager A. Shevchenko and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Udinese (placed 14th) in the Serie A. Davide Biraschi, defender, was given a rating of 7.85/10 in that game, top of the team. Biraschi hit one key pass and won 5 of 7 duels.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Roma (0-2).The manager A. Shevchenko will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Juventus in only four days.
Genoa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Genoa have conceded 11 from these games. When Genoa hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Cagliari, Sampdoria, Venezia, Spezia, Udinese and Salernitana), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
Milan form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss in the Serie A.
Home advantage was not enough for Milan in their previous game, as they lost their Serie A-match, hosting Sassuolo, 1-3. The attacker Zlatan Ibrahimović got a match rating of 7.14 in that game. Ibrahimović hit three key passes.
Prior to that result Milan won their away game at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. The scoreline was 1-0.A quick return to home after this game, as Milan are hosting Salernitana in the Serie A only three days away.
The Milan manager S. Pioli has got the team scoring on the road, with 16 away goals in 7 league matches. Milan struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 11 goals conceded from these games.
