SSC Napoli
AC Milan
In the 30th round of the Italian Serie A, a clash between Napoli and Milan is set to unfold. The match will take place in Naples on Sunday, March 30. Kick-off is scheduled for 20:45 Central European Time. I suggest a bet on the winner of this game.
Match preview
Antonio Conte's team has lost its winning momentum and has been overtaken by Inter for the top spot. Frequent slip-ups do not add optimism, and the Scudetto is slipping from Napoli's grasp.
To stay in the fight, they must defeat Milan, which looks like a very serious challenge. Interestingly, Napoli boasts the best defense in the league, conceding only 23 goals, but the team's attacking actions raise many questions.
With nine rounds to go, Milan sits as low as ninth place, continuing to frustrate their fans. Sergio Conceicao will likely be dismissed in the summer, having failed to meet major objectives.
Despite the crisis, the gap to fourth place is only six points, which does not yet seem critical. On the other hand, in matches against direct competitors, the Rossoneri often suffer defeats, casting further doubt over the head coach.
Match facts
- Napoli is unbeaten at home in six consecutive matches.
- Milan scores and concedes in six consecutive encounters.
- Napoli averages 1.6 goals per game when playing at home, while Milan averages 1.4 goals per game when playing away.
Probable lineups
- Napoli: Meret, Spinazzola, Buongiorno, Jesus, Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, Anguissa, McTominay, Raspadori, Politano, Lukaku.
- Milan: Maignan, Walker, Gabbia, Thiaw, Hernandez, Loftus-Cheek, Fofana, Reijnders, Leao, Pulisic, Jimenez.
H2H
Napoli has not defeated Milan at home since 2018.
Prediction
Napoli is considered the favorite, but Milan at this stage of the season is absolutely unpredictable. In any case, Conte's side will find it tough, and I suggest betting on the visitors to win with a +1 goal handicap.
