AC Milan finished 2nd last year, but they weren't too close to winning their 20th Scudetto, considering their city rival, Inter, left them an amazing 19 points behind. This year, Rossoneri haven't had the best start both in the Serie A and the Champions League as well. In Serie A, they hold the 5th place with 14 points in eight rounds, already eight points behind the league's leader and their next opponent, Napoli. However, they have a chance to close that gap in this duel. Meanwhile, in the CL, Rossoneri won only three points in three rounds. The primary reason for their slow start is poor road record, which they will have to fix soon.
Napoli had a terrible last season, especially when we recall just how dominant they were in the season before when they won the league title. Last season, they won only 53 points in 38 rounds and finished 10th, failing to secure Europe. However, considering they are only focused on domestic competition this year, they are doing great. However, we have to note that Napoli had a pretty easy schedule and faced only Juventus from the top Serie A teams.
AC Milan vs Napoli pick: AC Milan to (AH 0) win
Even though AC Milan haven't been consistent this season, more or less all their poor performances came away from home. At home, Rossoneri won four out of six games (67% win rate) while losing just to Liverpool.
Napoli have been fantastic this season, result-wise. But if we take a look at their schedule, we can see they haven't faced such strong competition. Also, in four games away from home, they were impressive only against Cagliari.
Last season, these teams met four times (twice in the league and twice in the Champions League). Rossoneri won both home games and drew in two road games.
We expect a super competitive game, but we believe that AC Milan are slightly closer to winning the upcoming game on their home turf.

AC Milan team news
Milan's game against Bologna was delayed due to flooding, which means that Lucas Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders will remain sidelined with their suspensions, which is a massive blow for Rossoneri.
Additionally, Tammy Abraham, Davide Calabria, Ismael Bennacer, and Alessandro Florenzi, who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined with their injuries. Meanwhile, Luka Jovic is questionable with back problems.

Napoli team news
After a 1:0 win against Lecce, coach Antonio Conte spoke to the media. He said they attacked, but Lecce defended in an organized way and made things difficult for them. "We did what we had to. We dominated from start to finish. I can't ask more of the players looking at the statistics from the game," the coach added.
Due to injuries, the team should be without Stanislav Lobotka and Leonardo Spinazzola. At the same time, Mario Rui will most likely be out of the squad as he was the entire season.
