"AC Milan return to San Siro for Serie A action tomorrow night, as Massimiliano Allegri's team welcomes Genoa. It is a must-win game, and there should be no bumps in the road. After their 1-0 win against Cagliari, Milan are beginning to turn the tide when it comes to their reputation against lower sides this season. However, they cannot let that come undone at home - which has been the host to most of their struggles so far."
"Genoa's summer window has, in many ways, probably sewn the seeds for what has been a difficult start to the season. After selling €52m worth of players, according to Transfermarkt, they did not spend a single penny on permanent transfers to bolster the squad available to the then-coach Patrick Vieira. Koni De Winter was the most expensive sale as he went to Milan for €20m. Teenage defender Honest Ahanor headed to Atalanta for €17m, then Albert Gudmundsson completed his permanent Fiorentina switch for €13m."
AC Milan need a victory at San Siro against Genoa to arrest worrying home form and build on a 1-0 win over Cagliari that improved confidence against lower-ranked teams. Home performances have been the primary source of Milan's struggles this season. Genoa are managed by Daniele De Rossi and show mixed recent results with D-L-L-L-W in all competitions. Leo Ostigard and Lorenzo Colombo lead Genoa's Serie A scoring with three goals each while Aaron Martin has three assists. Genoa sold €52m of players in the summer and brought in multiple loanees rather than permanent signings. Patrick Vieira was sacked after a winless start and De Rossi secured early wins before a run without victory since December 8. Jean Onana is listed under injuries and suspensions.
