"On Thursday evening, AC Milan will hope to continue their winning streak, as they welcome Genoa to the San Siro for their first home game of 2026. It will be a case of starting how they mean to go on for Milan. Their only loss of the 2025/26 Serie A season has come at San Siro, and so they will hope a new year can only distance them further from that blip."
"In midfield, then, Davide Bartesaghi will return to his normal position, whilst Alexis Saelemaekers stays on the right. Centrally, it is a case of keeping things the same again, so the French pair of Youssouf Fofana and Adrien Rabiot ahead of Luka Modric. Finally, there could be a shout for Niclas Fullkrug to start here, given that Rafael Leao is not 100%. However, it seems the Portuguese is more ready than the German, so he should get the nod here alongside Christian Pulisic."
AC Milan will host Genoa at the San Siro for their first home game of 2026, aiming to continue a winning streak after beating Cagliari. Milan's only 2025/26 Serie A loss occurred at San Siro, and a new year creates distance from that blip. Massimiliano Allegri will not rest players and will select a full-strength side. Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic are set in defence. The midfield includes Davide Bartesaghi, Alexis Saelemaekers, Youssouf Fofana, Adrien Rabiot and Luka Modric. Rafael Leao is preferred to Niclas Fullkrug up front alongside Christian Pulisic in a 3-5-2.
