Match background
Currently placed second in the log standings, SSC Napoli are embroiled in a battle to win this season’s Serie A title – a trophy they last won in the 2022/23 season under Luciano Spalletti.
Antonio Conte has transformed Gli Azzurri (The Blues) into title contenders once again after the team endured a poor 2023/24 campaign, in which they failed to defend the Serie A title, and they are the favourites coming into their game against AC Milan.
Gli Azzurri will be up against a Milan side that has underperformed by their own high standards this season, as Rossoneri (The Red and Blacks) are currently placed ninth in the log standings.
However, Rossoneri have been showing signs of improvement under Sergio Conceicao in recent weeks, having won back-to-back Serie A matches against Como and Lecce, and they will be targeting a third successive win against Napoli.
What the teams are saying
Antonio Conte has praised Milan with Rossoneri having made some good signings in the current season.
“It becomes unpleasant to always talk about individuals, I speak of the team’s performance,” Conte said.
“We’re focusing on Milan, last year they had a significant gap over us and had an equally significant transfer window.”
Sergio Conceicao has opened up about the challenges he has faced as Milan’s manager ahead of the Napoli clash.
“I knew the difficulties I would encounter. I didn’t choose the players, I had no time to train and there was an obligation to win,” Conceicao said.
“However, it’s a historic club that can give me the opportunity to get closer to one of the objectives of my career, after having won so much in Portugal.”
Players to watch
SSC Napoli: Romelu Lukaku
The proven centre forward is Napoli’s main source of goals in Serie A this season, having found the back of the net 10 goals in 26 starts. Lukaku has also caught the eye with his creativity as the Belgium international has provided more assists (eight) in the Italian top flight than any other player in the current campaign.
AC Milan: Christian Pulisic
The speedy winger is Milan’s joint-top scorer in Serie A, having found the back of the net nine times in 20 starts. Pulisic, who is known for his trickery on the ball, sharpness and mature decision-making in the final third, has also provided six assists in the competition this season.
Head-to-head
In head-to-head stats, SSC Napoli and AC Milan have met in 176 matches across all competitions since 1927, with Rossoneri claiming 70 wins compared to 52 for Gli Azzurri, with 54 games drawn.
The teams’ Serie A meeting earlier this season, at San Siro in October 2024, saw Napoli claiming a 2-0 away win thanks to two goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Romelu Lukaku.
In the end, Gli Azzurri ended their three-match winless run in the league against Rossoneri.
