Our betting tip for AC Milan vs CFC Genoa
Main Betting Tip: Over/Under – Under 2.5 Goals
The low goals expectation aligns with both teams’ recent defensive outlook and Milan’s efficiency in grinding out narrow wins. Milan’s season-long goal difference indicates measured scoring rather than frequent high-scoring affairs, and Genoa’s away matches often produce few goals. Tactical caution, especially from Allegri’s side when protecting league position, supports an Under 2.5 selection. This market is consistent with the previous “Both teams to score? No” prediction and the projected 1:0 correct score. Best available odds for Under 2.5: supplied at 1win.
Betting Tip 2: Both teams score? No
Given the defensive form and tactical tendencies of the two sides, a match without goals from both teams is a compelling secondary selection. AC Milan have conceded just 13 goals across the league campaign, demonstrating the capacity to control games and limit opposition chances. Genoa have struggled to consistently find the net, especially in away fixtures where their attacking returns are subdued. The recent head-to-head history also suggests Milan has often kept Genoa at bay. Accordingly, the “Both teams to score? No” option is an attractive complement to the away-favoring expectation of Milan control. Best available odds for this market: NO at Paripesa, odds 1.62.
