AC Milan vs Napoli Predictions

Both AC Milan and Napoli have injuries in attacking areas. This should be a tight contest with few goals. My best bet is a draw.

Head to Head

Napoli hold a 13-12 lead in 41 previous matches. There have been 16 draws along the way.

When they met in March 2021, it was Napoli who escaped with a narrow 1-0 win away from home.

AC Milan Form

AC Milan come into this game second in the Serie A table, one point off local rivals, Inter Milan. They have taken seven points from a possible nine in their last three league matches.

After a shock 3-1 defeat at home to Sassuolo, Milan won 3-0 at Genoa in Serie A. Another victory followed in league football as Franck Kessi and Alexis Saelemaekers sealed a 2-0 win against Salernitana.

In the UEFA Champions League, Milan lost 2-1 at home to Liverpool despite Fikayo Tomroi giving the Italian giants the lead. Last time out the Rossoneri drew 1-1 at Udinese. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was required to score a 90th minute equaliser.

AC Milan Injuries & Team News

AC Milan will hope to welcome back Olivier Giroud this weekend after injury. Centre-back Simon Kjaer, Ante Rebic and Davide Calabria are all missing through injury.

Rafael Leao will miss the rest of the season.

Napoli Form

Napoli began the Serie A season on fire and topped the table for the opening months. Their form has dropped of late which has seen them fall to fourth in the table, four points off top.

A 4-0 win over Lazio at home preceded a disappointing 2-2 draw against Sassuolo. More disappointment was to follow as Napoli lost 3-2 at home to Atalanta.

Napoli recovered the beat Leicester City 3-2 at home in the UEFA Europa League but lost 1-0 at home to Empoli last time out. It was an unfortunate defeat as Napoli enjoyed 30 shots on goal in the game.

Napoli Injuries & Team News

Stanislav Lobotka and Mario Rui are both in with a chance of playing this weekend but will have to pass late fitness tests.

Goal scoring sensation Victor Osimhen remains out injured after a spectacular start to the season. Centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly is also still out with injury.

Verdict

AC Milan v Napoli

AC Milan and Napoli are both missing key attacking players and therefore few goals are expected. I'm backing it to end level with 1-1 a likely scoreline.
