Napoli prepare to square off against Milan at the Stadio San Paolo on Monday night and the home side will be keen on getting back to winning ways following two consecutive defeats.
Napoli Match Betting News
Napoli finally surrendered their top spot in the Serie A table following a crushing late 1-0 defeat against rivals Juventus last weekend and then went on to suffer another loss by the same score in the midweek Round of 32 clash against Villarreal.
All of a sudden, Napoli’s brilliant campaign has completely turned around on its head and there are even talks that manager Maurizio Sarri now needs to revive Partenopei’s season.
While such talk is most certainly premature as Napoli are amidst a fine campaign, Sarri will surely now not be tolerant of any more slip ups from his side if they are to claim honours this season and the blockbuster clash against Milan on Monday will be seen as a must win for the title contenders. Alberto Grassi is the only injury doubt ahead of the game for Napoli.
Milan Match Betting News
Milan have enjoyed a wonderful revival over the past few months and following a run of nine matches without a defeat, the Rossoneri now have given themselves a fighting chance of making into the Champions League next season.
While Milan most certainly have a sizeable gap to catch up upon, they are playing with a lot of confidence at the moment and Sinisa Mihajlovic’s men will surely head into the clash against high flying Napoli on Monday night with a self belief that they can claim the three points.
Diego Lopez, Phillippe Mexes, Juraj Kucka, Ignazio Abate, Alessio Romagnoli and Rodrigo Ely are struggling with injuries and look unlikely to feature on the night.
Napoli vs Milan Match Prediction
Milan have beat Napoli only one in their last nine meetings and setting the record straight this weekend will be a tough ask once again. Admittedly Napoli are a bit low on morale at the moment due to their consecutive losses while Milan are flying high with the unbeaten run.
However, Napoli seem to have the edge when it comes to clashes against Milan and they should be able to continue their dominance over the Rossoneri by getting back to winning ways on Monday.
