Milan vs Napoli Prediction: What should we expect this time?

Napoli will visit AC Milan in the first match of the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The match is scheduled to start on April 12. Ten days ago the Rossoneri beat the Neapolitans with a score of 4:0 - what should we expect this time?

In Serie A, things are not going well for AC Milan. After the championship season, the Rossonenri have slowed; this time, they fight only for medals or a place in the Champions League competitions. Now the team is just the fourth in the table with 52 points. Moreover, in recent rounds, they did not look good, except for the sensational match with Napoli, where they managed to register a devastating 4:0 victory. But apart from that, there were losses to Fiorentina and Udinese and draws with the modest Salernitana and Empoli.

Another thing is Milan's performance in the Champions League. In the group, the Red and Black were second with ten points in six rounds, and in the round of 16, they faced Tottenham. Just one Brahim Diaz goal in the seventh minute decided everything.

For Napoli, the current season is a breakthrough. The team's fans have been waiting for the Scudetto, and now it is incredibly close. Only under some abnormal circumstances, Napoli won't be triumphant - after 29 rounds, they are leading in the standings with 74 points, 16 points ahead of second-placed Lazio! And the final is only nine matches away. Luciano Spalletti's side looks excellent - they rarely fail to do so, scoring victory after victory. The latest setback was a significant loss to AC Milan (0:4) on home soil.

It would seem that Napoli gives all the forces in Serie A, so the team can not take the Champions League so seriously. But the Neapolitans are also excellent on the international stage. They won the group, and in the round of 16, they fought with the current winner of the Europa League, Eintracht. The Italian team had no problems - 2:0 win in the first leg and 3:0 in the second.

In the upcoming game, we won't venture into the outcome. We should not expect a repeat of the recent match in the 28th round of Serie A - it was rather an exception to the rule. In addition, Napoli has solved all the problems in Serie A and can now afford to relax. In UEFA Champions League, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and company are one step away from the semifinals, so we expect a completely different team at the San Siro. We do not think we will see a lot of scoring here - the price of a mistake is too high.

Victor Osimhen is still injured, which could make Napoli less concerned about the attack and concentrate on defense. Fortunately, the team is doing well there - only 21 conceded goals in 29 Serie A rounds. Milan also knows how to play intelligently at home, as we saw in the round of 16 against Tottenham. We expect a minimum of dangerous moments and a total under.
