It’s a truly difficult moment for AC Milan and Massimiliano Allegri. The team has not won a league match for almost a month (since 19 April against Hellas Verona FC), and the dropped points in Serie A are starting to weigh heavily on the race for a Champions League place and beyond. The atmosphere is almost split in two: players performing below their usual standards, and one side of Milan, the Inter Milan fans, still busy celebrating the league title and the Coppa Italia. Against this gloomy backdrop, the highly delicate clash against Genoa CFC is approaching. Most likely, Christopher Nkunku will once again lead the line for Milan.
Nkunku between stats and goals: the Frenchman ready for Genoa
Christopher Nkunku has scored six goals in this Serie A season for Milan, as many as he managed in total across the previous two Premier League seasons with Chelsea FC (three in 2023/24 and three in 2024/25). Among Milan players in the league this season, only Christian Pulisic (one goal every 194 minutes) has a better minutes-per-goal ratio than the Frenchman (one every 202 minutes).
Previous meetings between Genoa and Milan
Milan have remained unbeaten in 15 of their last 16 league matches against Genoa (10 wins, 5 draws). The only Genoa victory during that period came on 8 March 2020: a 2-1 win, with goals from Goran Pandev and Francesco Cassata for Genoa, and Zlatan Ibrahimović for Milan. Milan have won each of their last three away matches against Genoa in Serie A, and in their history they have never recorded more consecutive away wins against Genoa in the competition.
