Serie A 2023/24 will continue with week 8 this weekend, featuring an interesting match between Genoa and AC Milan at the Luigi Ferrarí Stadium. This is a battle between two coaches who have played for the Rossoneri, namely Alberto Gilardino and Stefano Pioli.
Genoa is performing quite impressively by going unbeaten in the last two matches, including two draws against two big teams, namely Roma and Napoli at home. They are currently ranked 12th in the standings with 9 points from 7 matches. Coach Gilardino has created a strong defensive and effective attacking style of play with the cooperation of players such as Messias Junior, and Goran Pandev.
AC Milan, on the other hand, is having a perfect start in Serie A with wins in all their last three matches and catching Inter Milan in the standings. They both have 18 points from 7 matches and only lose to their neighbors in terms of goal difference.
However, Milan also had to face many difficulties when participating in the Champions League, where they were unable to achieve victory after two consecutive 0-0 draws. The match against Genoa is a big challenge for Coach Pioli and his team.
Pioli has to think hard about the many injuries in Milan’s midfield and back line. Apart from that, he will also give rest to several main pillars such as Olivier Giroud, Christian Pulisic, Simone Kjaer and Davide Calabria to save energy for other important matches.
Milan’s opponent is Genoa, a team that is currently having a fairly stable performance under the guidance of Coach Alberto Gilardino. He is a former great player from Milan, who won the Champions League with this club in 2007. Gilardino really understands Milan’s style and strategy, and he also has several players who have worn the Rossoneri uniform such as Messias Junior and Kevin Strootman.
Gilardino could view this match as an opportunity to prove himself in front of AC Milan management, who tend to prefer coaches who have been players for this club. If Gilardino can bring Genoa to surprise Milan, he will get more attention in the future.
Regarding the line-up, Genoa cannot play three important midfielders, namely Milan Badelj, Kevin Strootman and Mateo Retegui due to injury. Retegui is a player who is expected to shine in the Italian national team after scoring the decisive goal against Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers. Meanwhile, AC Milan lost three midfielders, Ismael Bennacer, Rade Krunic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek due to injury. Two central defenders Pierre Kalulu and Mattia Caldara were also unable to take part in the field.
Even though they are more favored in this match because according to statistics Milan have always scored goals in the last five away matches in Serie A, since losing to Spezia 0-2 at the end of last season, but Genoa have played better than expected with a team that is not too strong . So, Milan still has to be alert.
