Genoa - AC Milan

Genoa enter this matchday 11 clash on 8 November 2026 with momentum, having secured three consecutive victories, including a notable 2-0 win over Juventus. Their recent form marks a significant recovery from earlier struggles, as they look to maintain their upward trajectory in Serie A. In contrast, AC Milan arrive following a difficult midweek defeat against Ferencvaros in the Europa League. While their domestic form has been marked by high-scoring encounters, such as the recent 3-1 victory over Inter, the visitors are currently managing a depleted squad due to injuries to key defensive figures like Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic.

The two sides last met in Serie A on 17 May 2026, when AC Milan secured a narrow 2-1 victory. As Genoa prepare to host at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, the expected XI features the attacking trio of Milutin Osmajic, Junior Messias, and Mikael Egill Ellertsson. AC Milan will rely on the experience of Luka Modric in midfield to dictate the tempo despite their defensive absences. Whether Genoa can extend their winning run or AC Milan can bounce back from their European disappointment remains the central question of this encounter.
