AC Milan v Napoli
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 29th October at 19:45
🏆
Competition: Serie A
AC Milan were left kicking their heels at the weekend after floods in Bologna, but their enforced rest comes to an end on Tuesday when they play host to league leaders Napoli. With the Neapolitans’ nearest rivals playing out a draw on Sunday, Antonio Conte’s men have pulled further clear at the top.
⭐ AC Milan v Napoli Best Bets
Napoli arrive at the San Siro after conceding just five goals since the start of the league season. Milan host the current league leaders having only conceded two goals across their first five home games of the campaign.
That combination of factors does not necessarily allude to a multitude of goals at the San Siro on Tuesday and although both teams have scored 16 total goals each to date, a stronger case for their respective defences can be made. Therefore, backing no more than two in total is our best bet at an attractive price.

👕 AC Milan v Napoli Predicted XI
🔍 AC Milan v Napoli Players to Watch
🔵 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
After last season’s disappointing defence of Napoli’s Serie A crown, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks like he is back to his best under new manager Antonio Conte. The Georgian international has scored four league goals this season (one from the penalty spot) and also created two for his teammates.
In addition to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scoring output, he is also known to be a constant nuisance for opposition defenders and his first nine league appearances of the season has seen him average 1.11 shots on target. With that in mind, just one effort will be enough against Milan to see this pick land.
🔵 Giovanni Di Lorenzo
Giovanni Di Lorenzo has been a mainstay of Napoli’s watertight defence this season and although the team as a whole gives little away in terms of goals, the 30-year-old has been known to give away the odd free-kick in his first nine league appearances of the season.
Di Lorenzo currently has an average of 1.67 tackles per game, but more importantly averages 1.89 fouls per game. When he attempts to win the ball, he is slightly more likely to earn the attention of the referee and with two bookings to his name already, a conversation with Tuesday’s referee is likely.
🔴 Christian Pulisic
With five league goals to his name, Christian Pulisic finds himself sitting fourth in the Serie A scoring charts and his Milan’s leading scorer in the competition. Not only has he scored five but he has also been on hand to create three assists – an average of 1.0 goal contributions per league game.
Add that to his two goals in the Champions League this season and the American forward has been an integral part of Milan’s attacking output and with the former Chelsea also averaging 1.0 shots on target in this season’s edition of Serie A, another shot on Tuesday could well be within range.

💻 AC Milan v Napoli Form and Tactics
AC Milan have won four of their last five Serie A outings, with the only blip being their recent reverse at Fiorentina. Paolo Fonseca’s side may have had a sluggish start regarding league positioning – not helped by their postponed trip to Bologna, but scoring goals is not necessarily an issue.
With 16 goals scored in Milan’s first eight games of the season, the red and black half of the city are currently averaging 2.0 goals per game and they do so thanks to their 4-2-3-1 style of play. A style that sees Christian Pulisic in the number 10 role play just off Alvaro Morata at the top of the attack.
Napoli are currently unbeaten in eight Serie A matches and have won each of their last four under manager Antonio Conte. At the weekend, they beat Lecce by a goal to nil, and they did so within a 4-3-3 formation, one that sees Scottish duo Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour in midfield.
Thanks to their recent clean sheet at home to Lecce and Juventus conceding four goals at the San Siro, Conte’s men now possess the joint-toughest defence in this season’s edition of Serie A. With only five goals conceded, they average just 0.56 goals against per game.
