The San Siro will play host to a huge clash when AC Milan welcome Napoli on Sunday night. Milan are in a fine run of form at the moment. The hosts are unbeaten in the league since mid-December and have only lost one of their last 12 Serie A matches, winning eight in that run. Stefano Pioli’s side’s last outing saw the Rossoneri beat Frosinone 3-2 away from home.
After a period in which Napoli won only one game in six, they appear to have improved in recent weeks, picking up seven points from their last three matches.
The two sides met in Naples in October, with Napoli coming back from two goals down to draw 2-2.

🏆 Match stats: An exciting game in-store
There have been plenty of goals in games involving Milan this season, with an average of 3.17 goals per game. Goals have been flying in in recent weeks, with the hosts’ last four league games seeing an average of 4.5 goals per game.
Milan have been in fine scoring form at home, scoring an average of almost two goals per match.
Napoli’s away matches have also seen plenty of goals, with an average of 2.45 goals per game. The visitors have looked dangerous going forward; however, like Milan, they have looked insecure at the back at times, conceding an average of 1 goal per away game.
Two or more goals have been scored in nine of Milan’s last ten games and in six of Napoli’s last eight. We expect the net to bulge at least twice here.
Predictions:
⚽ Over 1.5 goals @ 1.20
🎯 Shooting stats: Firepower in Milan’s attack
Milan have registered an average of 4.73 shots on target per home game this season. The hosts have found the target at least four times in eight of their 11 home matches. Milan looked dangerous when they played Napoli earlier this season, hitting the target six times.
Top scorer Olivier Giroud has been dangerous for the hosts, finding the target nine times in his last five league starts. The Frenchman scored twice when he last faced Napoli, registering three attempts on target in the process.
The bookies are offering a price of 1.30 for Milan to have a minimum of four shots on target and a nice price of 1.30 for Giroud to test Napoli’s keeper at least once.
Predictions:
⚽ AC Milan to have 4+ shots on target @ 1.30
⚽ Olivier Giroud to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.30
🟨 Cards stats: A busy night for the referee
Referees have handed out an average of 4.27 cards per game across Milan’s home matches this season. On average, Milan’s players have been cautioned 1.8 times per game over their last five home fixtures.
Napoli have received an average of 2.35 cards per game this season; however, this average has been higher when they play away from home. The visitors have received an average of 3.4 yellow cards per away game, and three reds along the way.
There were eight cards when the sides last met, we like the 1.50 that the referee dishes out at least five yellow cards here.
Predictions:
⚽ Over 3.5 cards @ 1.50
🛑 Fouls stats: Battles across the pitch
Milan have committed plenty of fouls at the San Siro this season, an average of 11.6 fouls per home game. The hosts’ foul count has reached double digits in eight of their last 11 home matches.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is a key contributor to this and has committed a foul in all of his last nine appearances. Across this run, the Englishman has committed an average of 2.44 fouls per match.
Napoli have committed an average of 10.4 fouls per away fixture this season. And, the visitors have committed nine or more fouls in all but one of their last ten away games.
One persistent offender is Juan Jesus, who has committed an average 1.1 fouls per league game. The Brazilian’s average is higher when playing on away soil, committing an average of 1.6 fouls per game across his last five away appearances.
A price of 1.44 is being offered for Loftus-Cheek to commit at least one foul, with excellent value in the 3.10 being offered for the Englishman to commit two or more.
Predictions:
⚽ Ruben Loftus-Cheek to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.44
⚽ Ruben Loftus-Cheek to commit 2+ fouls @ 3.10
⚽ Juan Jesus to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.33
