Genoa vs AC Milan Prediction

AC Milan have suffered a shocking downturn in form this month and have managed only one point in their last three games. With Inter Milan hot on their heels and Napoli's three-point lead at the top, the Rossoneri cannot afford another slip-up this week.

Genoa can pack a punch on their day but will have to make do with a heavily depleted squad on Wednesday. AC Milan are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Genoa 1-3 AC Milan
