Milan are likely to circulate the ball patiently, using width and overlapping runs to stretch Genoa’s defensive block and create high-quality chances inside the box.
Genoa, in contrast, will aim to remain compact, absorb pressure, and exploit isolated moments through counters or set-pieces, particularly targeting turnovers in midfield.
