Genoa face Milan with a run to bring to an end

Genoa face a formidable obstacle: Milan have not lost any of their last ten meetings with them in the Italian league. The sides meet at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium tomorrow, Sunday, on Matchday 11.

Milan’s advantage extends beyond the recent head-to-head record. The Rossoneri have won their last four league visits to Genoa. More broadly, only three teams have a longer current away winning run in the competition: Hellas Verona, with seven wins, and Messina and Pisa, with five each. Milan have also won two of their first five away matches this season, drawing the other three.

Kooora notes that Milan could become the sole holder of a record if they extend their run of unbeaten starts across their first six away matches this season. The club have achieved that feat three times between the 2020-2021 and 2025-2026 seasons, as many times as Inter and Napoli. Genoa’s task is to end their opponent’s long resistance: since the 2020-2021 season, Genoa have been among the teams the Rossoneri have faced most often without losing, level with other sides and behind Hellas Verona.

The table and recent form, though, suggest a closer contest than the head-to-head record might imply. Milan are fifth in Serie A on 21 points after ten matches, while Genoa sit 11th on 13, an eight-point gap. Milan have six wins, three draws and one defeat, with 21 goals scored and 12 conceded. Genoa have four wins, one draw and five defeats, scoring ten and conceding 14.

Recent form even favours Genoa: across their last five Serie A matches, they have recorded four wins and one defeat, compared with three wins, a draw and a defeat for Milan. At home this season, Genoa have won three of their first six matches, lost two and drawn one. Milan, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their first five league away games. Genoa’s challenge is clear: turn their revival into a result against a side that has had the upper hand in this fixture for a long time.
