Four away wins in a row and 10 unbeaten: All the key stats ahead of Genoa vs. Milan

By: Oliver Fisher

Genoa and AC Milan will face off for the 157th time in history on Sunday afternoon at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Liguria.

Milan are looking to build on their 71 wins in the fixture, while Genoa are quite far behind with 37 wins, and there have been 48 draws. That being said, in the last five games there have been three ties (3-3, 0-0 and 1-1).

The good news for the Rossoneri is that they won the other two games in that run, and the five games before that were all wins as well, with no defeat recorded against the Grifone since 2020.

The most recent win was a 2-1 win at the Marassi in favour of Milan, courtesy of goals from Christopher Nkunku and Zachary Athekame. In the game at San Siro, Rafael Leao rescued a point in the dying minutes after Colombo had given Genoa the lead in the first half.

➤ Milan are unbeaten in their last 10 Serie A matches against Genoa (W6 D4). Since 2020-21, the Rossoneri only have a longer run of unbeaten games against Hellas Verona (12).

➤ Milan have won each of their last four Serie A away games against Genoa. Only against three teams do the Rossoneri currently have a longer running away win streak in the competition: Hellas Verona (seven), Messina (five) and Pisa (five).

➤ Genoa are on a three-game winning streak in Serie A. The last time the Rossoblu recorded a streak of four consecutive wins in a single season in the top flight was between March and April 2009.

➤ Genoa have won three of their first six home games this season (D1 L2). The Rossoblu haven’t won four of their first seven Serie A home games since the 2015-16 season, when Gian Piero Gasperini was in charge.

➤ Ruben Amorim’s Milan have scored 21 goals in their first 10 Serie A games this season. The last Rossoneri manager to do better after his first 11 league games was Cesare Maldini in 1972, with 25 goals.

➤ Milan have won two and drawn three of their first five away games this season. The Rossoneri have avoided defeat in their first six away games of the season on three occasions between 2020-21 and 2025-26, the same number as Inter and Napoli, and could now become the only team to do so four times in this span, including the current season.

➤ Genoa have scored four goals in the first 15 minutes of Serie A action this season, a figure they share with Frosinone, Atalanta, Lazio, and Roma and second only to Milan (five). However, the Rossoblu are the only team yet to score in the final 15 minutes of a match.

➤ Stephan El Shaarawy, who scored 21 goals in 83 league appearances for AC Milan, has provided an assist in each of his last two Serie A appearances. Should he also contribute to a goal in his next match, he would become, at 34 years and 12 days, the second-oldest player to achieve this feat in three consecutive games for Genoa since 2004-05, after Domenico Criscito in 2021 (34 years and 269 days).

➤ Adrien Rabiot has bagged five goals and three assists in his first eight league appearances this season. The last midfielder to do better in the first nine games of a Serie A season was Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in 2022-23, with 10 contributions (three goals and seven assists).

Furthermore, the Frenchman has been involved in a goal in each of his last five appearances, and the last Milan midfielder to do better in Serie A was Kaka in 2004 (seven).

➤ Diego Moreira has been directly involved in seven goals (four goals and three assists) in his first six Serie A appearances for AC Milan. Since 2004/05, no player has had more in his first six league games for the Rossoneri, equaling Mario Balotelli’s record (seven in 2013).
