Serie A: Milan vs. Genoa – Official Line-Ups Announced
AC Milan is set to face Genoa in a crucial Serie A match at San Siro on Thursday evening. This match marks the final encounter of the 19th round of fixtures in the league. Milan’s squad features key players leading the attack, including Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.
Match Preview: Milan vs. Genoa
The two attacking stars, Leao and Pulisic, will orchestrate the front line for Milan. This season, they have had limited opportunities to start together due to injuries. In fact, this will be only their second Serie A appearance together, following their collaboration in a notable 1-0 win over Inter Milan last November.
For this match, Milan has also included January signing Niclas Fullkrug as a possible substitute forward. Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku are unavailable, adding to the team’s adjustments.
Recent Form and Current Standings
Milan is seeking a victory to strengthen their position in the league. A win will secure three points, placing them ahead of third-placed Napoli and just one point behind league leaders Inter Milan. Currently, Milan aims to close the gap at the top of the table.
On the other hand, Genoa finds themselves in a precarious situation. They have not secured a win in their last four matches and currently sit just above the relegation zone. However, they are safe from immediate relegation risk during this match.
