AC Milan vs Napoli Predictions

• Milan have won 15 of 20 league games against teams outside the top four
• Napoli have failed to score in five of their six visits to top-half sides
• The Partenopei have lost four of their last five on the road, failing to score in their last four.

Napoli to fall short

Napoli are back into Serie A’s top seven after a good spell of form, but they face a huge test when they head to third-placed AC Milan on Sunday night. The Rossoneri have won three of their last four and they’re on the fringes of the title race, making good ground for a return to the Champions League.

The hosts would be in the mix for the Scudetto if it wasn’t for their struggles against the top teams in the league. Milan aren’t quite at the level of Inter Milan and Juventus, as shown by the fact that they’ve lost each of their meetings with the top four this term. However, outside of those games they’ve won 15 of 20 Serie A matches this term, which is bad news for a Napoli side who have spent the year in the middle of the pack.

Napoli have struggled against teams in the top 10, picking up just one win across their 10 meetings with them. On the road things have been even tougher, as they’ve scored in just one of their six visits to the top 10. The Partenopei have not scored a single goal in their last four league away games and they look set to draw another blank here.
