Napoli vs AC Milan Predictions

• Milan have lost only one of their last 16 matches
• Napoli have suffered back-to-back defeats to nil
• Milan’s last six victories have been by a single goal

Milan set to shine in Saudi

Milan are the holders of the Italian Super Cup, having defeated fierce rivals Inter to take last season’s prize, and they can tee up a shot at defending their crown with victory over Napoli in the semi-final on neutral ground in Saudi Arabia.

The King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh is the location for this last-four rumble, with the final set to take place on Monday, and Milan have plenty going for them on the back of some impressive recent form.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side have lost only one of their last 16 games in all competitions since the end of August, which came in the Coppa Italia away at Lazio earlier this month, and that features a 2-1 league victory over Napoli as well as maximum points against neighbours Inter.

Milan, having lost only one of their 15 league games this season, are only one point behind Inter in second in Serie A and this may be no bad time to play Napoli, who have suffered back-to-back defeats to nil against Benfica in Europe and Udinese in the league.

Napoli are only one point behind Milan in second in the Italian top-flight but they have won only six of their last 14 matches in all competitions and they are still dealing with some notable injuries including Kevin De Bruyne, Billy Gilmour, Frank Anguissa and Juan Jesus.

So Milan looks the most likely victory and correct-score punters may want to side with a cagey 1-0 success, which has been the scoreline in three of their last four wins.
