AC Milan
- Massimiliano Allegri’s pragmatic approach to the game has already started to bear fruit for Milan, who have won their last four in all competitions and sit third in Serie A, keeping pace with the surprise leaders. This AC Milan vs Napoli preview shows that both teams are currently in top form and promise an exciting game.
- His side have been incredibly solid defensively and have managed the pace of the games to their advantage in their back-to-back Serie A wins over Bologna (1-0) and Udinese (3-0), and in their 3-0 Coppa Italia victory over the runaway Serie B leaders Lecce.
Napoli
- In contrast, Antonio Conte is a trigger-pulling coach who demands full-intensity pressing, rapid vertical transitions and disciplined wing-back play to overload the centre of the field.
- The Partenopei have been strong away from home, however, so the AC Milan vs Napoli prediction indicates that they may still break down Allegri’s compact Milan, which will be a back three one way or another.
- Napoli have won both their away Serie A games in 2025/2026, conceding 0.5 goals per game.
Head-to-Head
- However, with Napoli 2-1 winners in their most recent Serie A matchup five months ago and boasting a perfect start to 2025/2026, our AC Milan vs Napoli prediction is that the +190 odds on offer for them to beat Milan at San Siro are quite attractive.
- Milan have won one and lost one of their two home games in Serie A 2025/2026, averaging one goal per home game in Serie A.
Key Players
- In-form Christian Pulisic offers Milan’s best chance of a goal, having netted three in four Serie A appearances and five in his last five in all competitions.
- But Napoli’s Kevin De Bruyne has scored two in Serie A, brings the creative spark his team have needed for years and has the big-game mentality to make a difference in this clash.
