Milan have prevailed in 61 of the previous 135 encounters while there have been 45 draws, and Genoa have come away with all three points just 29 times.
In the most recent meeting at the Marassi, Christian Pulisic and Olivier Giroud were decisive for the Rossoneri. The American scored a lovely goal in the 87th minute and after Mike Maignan was sent off, with no subs left, Giroud stepped up in goal and made a couple of crucial stops.
Our pre-match preview has the latest team news and some insight on the opposition, while below are the best stats ahead of the game.
➤ Milan and Genoa have drawn their last two Serie A meetings: they’ve not drawn three in a row in the top division since 1991-1992, with the 1991/92 season also the last in which the Rossoneri and the Rossoblu drew both matches.
➤ Milan are unbeaten in 13 of their last 14 league games against Genoa (W9 D4); the Rossoblu’s only win in this period was 2-1 in March 2020, with goals from Goran Pandev and Francesco Cassata (Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the Rossoneri).
➤ Milan have won five of their last six games at the Ferraris against Genoa (D1), keeping four clean sheets. They are looking to keep three clean sheets in a row on Ligurian soil for the first time since 1962.
➤ Milan have won their last three away games in all competitions without conceding a goal; the Rossoneri have not won four in a row since March 2024, while they last did so without conceding (in the same campaign) in December 2003.
➤ Genoa have lost their last two Serie A games and have failed to score in their last three; the Rossoblu have not lost three league games in a row since October 2024 and have not gone four consecutive rounds without a goal since February 2022.
➤ Despite being the team that have attempted the most shots from outside the box (95) since the beginning of 2025 in Serie A (since the arrival of Sérgio Conceicao), Milan are one of three teams in the league that have yet to score from distance in this calendar year – together with Bologna and today’s opponent, Genoa.
➤ Only Parma (28 shots) had fewer shots than Genoa (29, like Cagliari) in the month of April in Serie A; the Ligurians still produced an overall expected goals value of 3.39 in the month, despite scoring just one goal
➤ Genoa’s Andrea Pinamonti has not found the net in his last nine Serie A games: it is his longest drought in a single topflight championship since 15 consecutive games without a goal between October 2019 and June 2020.
➤ Youssouf Fofana has already provided six assists in this championship; considering the last 20 seasons (since 2005/06), only one central midfielder has managed at least seven assists in his debut season in Serie A with Milan: Hakan Çalhanoglu in 2017/18 (Alberto Aquilani stopped at six in 2011/12).
➤ Christian Pulisic scored the only goal in the only match played in his career at the Ferraris against Genoa (1-0 on 7 October 2023); excluding central attackers (first or second strikers), the American could become the first Milan player to score more than 10 goals in the first two Serie A championships played with the Rossoneri since Luciano Chiarugi (1972/73 and 1973/74
