Milan vs Genoa preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

January begins with a midweek round of games in Serie A, as the second half of the campaign gathers pace at both ends of the table. 

DAZN is showing 380 live games across the 2025-26 campaign, and matchday nineteen sees AC Milan rounding off the midweek by hosting Genoa. 

Milan did enough against Cagliari last week to get the three points, with Rafael Leao the matchwinner once again in the 1-0 win. 

The result keeps Max Allegri's side just a point behind rivals Inter and means they still haven't suffered a loss since the opening weekend of the season. 

Next up, they welcome Genoa to the San Siro, who are back in trouble at the bottom of the league, hovering just above the dotted line after three straight defeats and a draw with Pisa last time out.

Milan vs Genoa prediction

Milan are on such a run and whilst they aren't blowing teams away, it's hard to see Genoa being the team who inflict only a second defeat on the Rossoneri - especially at home. 

Prediction: Milan 2-0 Genoa
