Team News

Genoa
AC Milan
  • Krzysztof Piatek has been touted as a potential replacement for Gonzalo Higuain at AC Milan. He won't get the chance to impressive a potential suitor as he is suspended this weekend.
  • There is a chance Piatek could leave this month and Andrea Favilli, who will deputise for him this weekend, will hope to impress.
  • Gonzalo Higuain has played his final game for AC Milan and is expected to complete a move to Chelsea before the week is over. Until Milan find a replacement, Patrick Cutrone will lead the line on his own.
  • January signing Lucas Paqueta is set to make his league debut for Milan, having already played in the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana for his new side.

Prediction

  • Genoa have only managed to win one of their last 13 league matches and this weekend they will be without their star man, and AC Milan target, Krzysztof Piatek.
  • AC Milan are also in a bit of a tricky situation. Like Genoa, who might lose Piatek this month, Gonzalo Higuain is on his way to Chelsea and Milan do not have a replacement ready to go just yet. Could this derail their hopes of a top four finish?
  • Neither Higuain nor Piatek will play in this match and the winner will be the side that can adapt best without their main strikers. Patrick Cutrone has already shown he can lead the line, which should work in Milan's favour.
