Napoli vs. AC Milan Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Napoli vs. AC Milan

The last two Italian champions go head-to-head on Sunday evening, with Napoli, the current Scudetto holders, hosting their predecessors AC Milan at the Stadio Maradona.

Napoli has faced challenges at the beginning of their title defense, while Milan was leading Serie A before suffering a defeat last weekend. Both teams have also had contrasting experiences in European competitions.

Rudi Garcia’s position as Napoli’s manager was under scrutiny when his team suffered consecutive defeats just before the international break. However, securing victories against Hellas Verona and Union Berlin in a matter of days has alleviated some of the pressure on the reigning champions’ head coach.

Napoli managed to regain their composure last Saturday as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored on both sides of the halftime interval in a 3-1 victory at Stadio Bentegodi. Following this win, they embarked on a midweek journey to Germany.

What to remember – Napoli vs. AC Milan

Napoli has had a challenging time securing victories against Milan on their home turf for an extended period, and this pattern might persist in their upcoming clash. Napoli’s form has been less than stellar, and the absence of their key goal-scorer adds to their concerns. While Olivier Giroud’s recent goal drought is a cause for concern, he has a track record of stepping up in crucial matches. Moreover, Rafael Leao displayed his goal-scoring ability by notching a brace in his last league visit to the Maradona stadium.
