AC Milan vs Genoa Prediction & Betting tips
AC Milan ended last season disappointingly in sixth place and a large number of new players were reached to finish higher this season. The season starts at home against Genoa, where it won 0-1 last year but did not go further than 0-0 at home. Will it be a goal-rich match this time?
AC Milan:
At AC Milan it is known that this season should be better and the most important player for that is already in, Gonzalo Higuaín has been reached for the goals this year and with him came Mattia Caldara. Leonardo Bonucci walked the opposite path back to Juventus, but he could not make an impression in Milan last year. Caldara played a great season on loan at Atalanta and with a view to the future, Milan now has a fine central defense with Caldara and Romagnoli. Also Ivan Strinic and Pepe Reina were among others, while only Nikola Kalinić left. According to the latest news, Diego Laxalt of today’s opponent is on his way to Milan for a medical examination. So it seems that AC Milan has improved considerably this summer.
In the exhibition games we saw the A-team for the most part, Higuaín started for the first time in the starting line-up. He already scored in the fourth minute to score against Real Madrid, despite losing Milan 3-1. A week earlier was still won from Barcelona, however, both teams played with mostly B-garniture.
Genoa:
Genoa has been a fixed value in the right-hand row for the past eight years, where it managed to escape relegation several times. Last season, it finished six points on top of the line in the thirteenth place and although it was a dangerous eighth place for the winter break, the results after the winter break were good enough to increase a number of places. However, last summer Genoa seemed to be weakened without many good new purchases. Experienced midfielder Luca Rigoni left a free transfer and goalkeeper of the past five seasons Mattia Perin went to Juventus. Last week the club did good business on the transfer market, Lisandro Lopez was picked up at Benfica and attacker Andrea Favilli is hired from Juventus, he played this summer all exhibition games there and scored twice against Bayern Munchen. However, there is still a replacement for the Wednesday sold to Diego Milan Milan, Lazaar van Newcastle is currently candidate to succeed him.
In addition to Favilli two new attackers have been added, but both Christian Kouamé and Krzysztof Piatek have no experience at this level yet. Piatek showed last weekend in the Coppa Italia against Serie C-team Lecce to quickly get used to Italy, he scored in the first half four times and thus immediately determined the final score.
