Milan boast a very high performance away from San Siro, where the only defeat of the season remains the one versus Spezia last February. More or less from the same period, however, the 'Devil' is no longer able to win in his own stadium - a real curse, if you consider that the last home success dates back to over two months ago, when Stefano Pioli and his men trimmed a resounding 4:0 at Crotone.This Sunday is a crucial chance to be missed for Milan — Juventus have a difficult match versus Atalanta and Napoli versus Inter at home.This mean two of four teams for top places will lose points and if Milan manage to won versus Genoa they will have an easy scenario for the rest of league.Leader of the group Ibrahimovic suspended with a red card last match and the heavy duty will be on shoulders of Leao. This rapresent a handicap as the portuguese talent is not guarantee of goals.

Genoa is pretty quiet in classification. The thirty two points are a guarantee at the moment for the salvation, but this does not mean that the 'rossoblù' cannot play their cards and put Milan in difficulty, as they have done a week ago in Turin versus Juventus, despite losing at the end 3:1.Manager Ballardini seems confirmed for another season and this boosted the team morale further as with this manager all the squad have a good feeling.

Milan

Injuries/Suspensions: Calabria (25/2 d), Ibrahimovic (17/15 f).

Genoa

Injuries/Suspensions: Czyborra (15/1 d), Zappacosta (19/2 d), Pellegrini (11/0 d), Criscito (20/1 d).

Prediction:

Milan should not miss this insidious test but its not excluded Genoa scoring. Also absence of Ibrahimovic means less offensive projection from the team.

Genoa +1.5
