AC Milan vs Napoli Predictions

• AC Milan have seen both teams score in six of their eight games this season, including each of their last four.
• Napoli, meanwhile, have hit 20 goals in eight games this campaign.
• According to expected goals (xG), Milan have the fourth-most creative attack in Serie A, and Napoli have the best.

Scudetto hopefuls meet at San Siro

Milan ultimately edged beyond Inter and Napoli to end their long Scudetto wait last season, and if the opening weeks of 2022-23 are anything to go by, they may have to fend off another Partenopei challenge this campaign. Luciano Spalletti’s men have joined the Rossoneri at the Serie A summit with an unbeaten start, and there’s every reason to think the rivals will produce a thriller on Sunday.

Napoli looked set to suffer after a series of exits this summer, but new arrivals Kim Min-jae, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giacomo Raspadori are already impressing – with Kvaratskhelia scoring four goals already. Spalletti’s men have scored 20 goals in eight games this season, and in Serie A, no team have bettered their 12.6 xG. At the other end, they have conceded just four goals – only Atalanta have shipped fewer – but three of their last four games have still seen goals at both ends.

Milan, meanwhile, clinched their first Champions League win of the campaign by beating Dinamo Zagreb 3-1 on Wednesday. They have now seen each of their last four games contain goals at each ends, as well as six of their eight matches this term. As the league’s fourth-most creative team judged by xG, the Rossoneri have maintained their energetic style, but they have averaged a concession per game this season.

Rossoneri and Partenopei to serve up thriller

With both Milan and Napoli unbeaten and playing scintillating football at times this season, punters may be best advised to ignore the results market and back both teams to score at San Siro.

Meanwhile, the home team has not won any of the last six head-to-head league meetings between the duo, and Napoli may have the quality to pick up a 2-2 draw.
