Four-game streak on the line: All the key stats ahead of Milan vs. Genoa

AC Milan can take a big step towards securing second place in the Serie A table this evening when they host Genoa at the San Siro.

Milan have the opportunity to mathematically secure qualification for next year’s Supercoppa Italiana with a win. However, without the support of Curva Sud and with Stefano Pioli heading for the exit door, it will be a strange atmosphere.

Our pre-match preview has the latest team news and opposition insight, while below are the best stats ahead of the game.

➤ AC Milan have won each of their last four Serie A matches against Genoa. In their top-flight history, only once have Milan had a longer winning run against the Grifone – seven wins between 1959 and 1963.

➤ Genoa have failed to score in their last three league matches against AC Milan and could equal their longest streak without finding the net against the Devil in the competition – four games in a row which they managed between 1965-1974 and between 2011-2013.

➤ Across all competitions, Milan are winless in each of their last five matches (D2 L3). Under manager Stefano Pioli they have only recorded a longer winless streak once before – a run of seven between January and February 2023 (D2 L5).

➤ AC Milan have lost their last two home games across all competitions (vs Roma and Inter) and could suffer three defeats in a row at home for the first time since between February and March 2014 (vs Atlético de Madrid, Juventus and Parma) under Clarence Seedorf.

➤ Genoa won last time out in Serie A (3-0 vs Cagliari) and could win back-to-back matches for only the second time in the league this season – having previously done so vs Salernitana and Lecce in January. However, the last time the Rossoblù kept a clean sheet in two games in a row in the competition was between February and March 2022 (a run of four in that case).

➤ Genoa have only lost one of their last nine Serie A away matches (W3 D5), with their only defeat on the road in this period coming at San Siro against Inter (1-2 in March 2024).
