"AC Milan will play their first home game of 2026 this evening as they welcome Genoa to San Siro, hoping to keep their winning run going. The past couple of rounds have gone well for Milan as they took six points out of six from the games against Hellas Verona and Cagliari, not conceding in either game. However, the pressure is back on tonight against Daniele De Rossi's men."
"Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia (back from a knee issue) and Strahinja Pavlovic should be the three-man defence ahead of Mike Maignan. Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi are expected to occupy the wing-back positions. Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot are down as the midfield three, with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao the front two. If confirmed, it would be only the second time that the American and the Portuguese have started together in the league, with the derby win being the other."
AC Milan return to San Siro to face Genoa seeking to continue a two-game winning and clean-sheet streak. Recent results include victories over Hellas Verona and Cagliari, while league rivals Juventus and Roma also won, Napoli dropped points, and Inter won, creating pressure in the title race. Coach opted against rotation despite a fixture in Florence in just over 60 hours and confirmed Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez as absentees. A predicted 3-5-2 features Maignan in goal, Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic in defence, wing-backs Saelemaekers and Bartesaghi, midfield trio Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, and forwards Pulisic and Leao.
