AC Milan head to Genoa needing a strong response to keep their fading Serie A top-four ambitions alive, while the hosts approach the contest with survival already secured and little pressure remaining.
Genoa ensured their place in next season’s top flight after a scoreless draw with Atalanta before producing another stalemate against Fiorentina last weekend.
Those results extended a frustrating run in front of goal, with Il Grifone now failing to score in three consecutive league matches.
However, returning to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris could provide encouragement, as Genoa have scored at least twice in six of their previous eight home league outings.
Milan, meanwhile, arrive under mounting pressure after another disappointing setback in their chase for a European spot.
A 3-2 loss to Atalanta last weekend marked their fourth defeat in six Serie A matches, a damaging run that has all but ended their title hopes and placed Champions League qualification in serious doubt.
Under manager Massimiliano Allegri, the Rossoneri are locked in a tense battle for a top-four place and cannot afford further slip-ups with only two rounds remaining.
Recent away form offers little reassurance, with Milan losing three of their last four league matches on the road, but there is one statistic that could boost confidence.
To improve their form, this trip may present an opportunity to steady the ship at a crucial stage of the campaign.

Whispers predicts: Genoa 0-1 AC Milan
Milan's historical dominance in this fixture has been a key factor in our prediction. While Genoa are difficult to break down at home and coming off a solid 0-0 draw, the Rossoneri have won six of their last seven visits to this stadium.
Although Milan are in a period of poor form following the 3-2 loss to Atalanta, the desperation for Champions League football should see them edge past a Genoa side.
The bookmakers have made AC Milan the favourite at 1.72, while a draw is valued at 3.70, and an underdog victory for the home side is priced at 4.50.
The odds for under 2.5 goals at 1.90 are attractive, and both teams to score (no) is also a strong proposition at 1.90 odds.
For those looking for higher odds for this game, a first-half draw is also a good pick, which has been given at 2.25 odds.
> Away to win at 1.72 | Likelihood: Possible
> Under 2.5 goals at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> Both teams to score (no) at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> First-half draw at 2.25 | Likelihood: Probable
