An impressive win in the Derby della Madonnina over Inter had Milan fans feeling confident, and the Rossoneri followed that up with another hard-fought win on the road against Palermo. With five goals scored and none conceded - the first time they had recorded back-to-back clean sheets - the hope was that when they welcomed Udinese they would make it a third straight win for the second time this campaign.
Well, the Zebrette had other plans, and having had to claw their way back to a draw, Milan will be hoping to get back to winning ways against Genoa, a team who have only won one of their last five fixtures. However, despite the Grifone's struggles, the visitors have given the Diavolo trouble in the past and the hosts will have to be wary to avoid a slip-up on Sunday.
Milan
Siniša Mihajlović has been a man under pressure for pretty much the entire season, but then again, any coach who works under Silvio Berlusconi will constantly be under the microscope. And given that the Rossoneri owner opted to actually spend money this summer, the expectation was to find them at the very least back in a Champions League berth, especially given that they have been out of Europe for the past few seasons.
Currently in sixth, Milan are six points behind Fiorentina, who occupy third place and the last Champions League spot. With the Viola facing Inter in an exciting match later on Sunday, they will hope to overturn their bad recent record against Genoa in order to avoid falling further behind in the league standings.
In the past, facing Genoa was generally guaranteed to earn Milan a win, but as of late, the Grifone have represented a stumbling block. Last season, the visitors won at San Siro for the first time since 1958 and the hosts will be coming into this match having lost their last three meetings, scoring exactly one goal each. With some injury concerns regarding M'Baye Niang and Giacomo Bonaventura, Mihajlović could possible replace them with Mario Balotelli and Kevin Prince Boateng, both of whom are back at Milan for the second time.
Genoa
Meanwhile, Gian Piero Gasperini's men have struggled for most of this season. The visitors have been quite disappointing on the road, having won just one out of their last 13 away games, but will be hoping to make it fourth straight win over Milan as they seek to move themselves further away from the relegation zone.
Unfortunately, they will have to make do without the services of striker Leonardo Pavoletti, whose absence will be keenly felt as he has chipped in with ten goals so far this season. The Grifone have also struggled to find the back of the net and now have gone three matches without scoring a goal - something they will hope to correct on Sunday afternoon.
Which channel is broadcasting Milan vs Genoa on TV or Online?
The 1-1 draw with Udinese will have frustrated some Rossoneri supporters, and they will be hoping to see a better performance from the team on Sunday. However, as noted before, the Grifone have represented a banana skin in the past and Gasperini's side will be arriving at the San Siro hoping to nick at least a point to improve their own flagging form.
