Posted on October 25, 2016 by Sreya

Genoa vs AC Milan – AC Milan travel to Luigi Ferraris to face Genoa on 25th October, Tuesday in a Serie A fixture. AC Milan have been sensational throughout the nascent 2016/17 domestic campaign and their 1-0 win against Juventus in their last match has put them in an incredible position to ascend to the top of the Serie A standings (albeit for a day), should they win against Genoa.

AC Milan have nineteen points and are third in league standings while Genoa are eleventh with twelve points from their three wins. Genoa have not won their last two Serie A games, losing 2-1 to Sampdoria following a goalless draw against Empoli.

“We both arrive to this game having spent the same physical energies, but psychologically it’s different. It’s going to be a really hard match. Tactically it’s a complicated game, and also on the psychological aspect. Technically we are stronger than Genoa, and we must use this to our advantage.”

– Vincenzo Montanelli, AC Milan.
