Preview of the Match: AC Milan vs CFC Genua

On Thursday, January 8, 2026, Serie A will witness an intriguing clash between league leaders AC Milan and relegation-battling CFC Genua at the iconic Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. As matchday 19 unfolds, AC Milan is keen to strengthen its hold on the top position, while CFC Genua will be striving to move away from the relegation zone.

Milan, under the astute management of Massimiliano Allegri, has enjoyed a stellar season thus far, amassing 38 points with an impressive record of 11 wins, 5 draws, and just a single defeat. Their form has been bolstered by a strong home record, where they have secured 6 wins, 2 draws, and suffered only one loss. The Rossoneri are a formidable force, having scored 28 goals and conceded 13, demonstrating both offensive prowess and defensive discipline.

In stark contrast, CFC Genua, managed by Daniele De Rossi, finds itself in a precarious position near the foot of the table, with a mere 15 points from their 18 matches. Genua's struggles are highlighted by their record of 3 wins, 6 draws, and 9 defeats. Their away form has been particularly concerning, with just 2 wins and as many draws, accompanied by 4 losses. With an unfavorable goal difference of 18:28, the visitors will need to tighten their defense to stand a chance against a high-flying Milan side.
