A win can bring them closer to top-four

Genoa after the first half of the season are in the14th place with 20 points, having 7 more points than the danger zone and that seems quite safe right now. Their top scorer Kryzstof Piatek is about to sign to Milan, anyway he won't perform tonight due to his suspension. Genoa are trying to find his substitute in their offence.

Milan target a place in top-four of the table, so they need to improve, as they are now 5th placed having 31 points. They suffered a 1-0 loss vs Juventus in the midweek game for the Italian Super Cup. The match took place in Jeddah of Saudi Arabia for commercial reasons. It wasn't a quality game and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal at 68' formed the final result (0-1).

Milan have to win so as to stay even closer to top-four. I believe they can achieve this goal against Genoa who could afford a negative result based on their position. In addition, home team do not count their first scorer. 'Rossoneri' can get the three pointer one way or another, the away will is my call.
