Milan Doing Its Job Correctly
AC Milan is in excellent form in recent weeks, with a record of just one loss in their last ten games across all competitions. Regarding the Serie A meetings, Rossoneri won five of the last six, with one tie in the process, and delivered at least two goals in each but one of these contests.

Milan has played 11 Serie A matches at home this season and has recorded eight wins, one draw, and only two losses. Stefano Pioli’s tactics at San Siro are extremely offensive-minded, so it is no wonder to see Rossoneri scoring 20 goals and allowing only seven. It’s the same with other competitions when Pioli’s unit appears in front of its own fans, with eight of the past 10 clashes (including the Italian Cup and the UEFA Champions League) at San Siro seeing three or more hits.
Napoli Still Has Chances to Turn the Tables
Napoli failed to deliver the very minimum of the ambitions they had before the start of the season. Currently occupying the seventh spot in the standings with 35 points, they trail fourth-placed Atalanta by only four points, which isn’t too bad because there are realistic chances for the reigning Scudetto winners to reach that position.
However, their recent performances have been lackluster, as they have managed just four victories in their last ten matches. Alongside those wins, they have recorded four defeats and two draws, suffering failure in the Italian Super Cup, which was the only competition where they could have won the silverware.
Milan Has the Winning Formula Against Napoli
The Rossoneri have been an enigma for the champs, who couldn’t defeat them in the last four meetings. If you remember, they were the ones who stopped Napoli in the Champions League quarterfinals, ending their incredibly promising run at the continental title.
The first encounter this year was at the Diego Maradona Stadium in Naples, and it ended without winners, 2-2. Napoli had to deal with a 0-2 deficit at halftime but came back, yet did not complete the flip.
Though, the fun fact is that Napoli hadn’t lost at San Siro in the previous four Serie A visits, triumphing on three occasions.
AC Milan vs. Napoli Predictions
When these two teams meet, one can expect a highly entertaining and goal-filled encounter. Milan’s matches are always fun to watch, especially in recent times, as the last four ended with four or more goals. Napoli, similarly, boasts a strong offensive lineup (Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia, etc,) thus making it highly likely that we will witness over 2.5 goals this Sunday night.
Napoli needs to attack because one point isn’t enough for them. Milan’s approach emphasizes offense, and with such factors on both ends, we had to go for high efficiency.
Pick: Over 2.5 goals 1/1 at BetXchange
