Comments and predictions for Napoli vs AC Milan: Home team makes a comeback

Latest Napoli vs AC Milan team information

Despite David Neres returning to full training, Napoli will not change their 3-5-2 formation – the system adopted after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia left the team and his replacement suffered an injury.

Giacomo Raspadori is likely to continue to partner Romelu Lukaku up front. The Belgian striker has an impressive record against Milan, having been involved in eight goals in just 818 minutes of action against the Rossoneri.

The recent absence of Frank Anguissa has also affected Napoli's title race, but after coming off the bench against Venezia, he is expected to start, replacing Billy Gilmour to partner Stanislav Lobotka in central midfield.

For Milan, Alessandro Florenzi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have both recovered and are ready to play. This weekend, only Emerson Royal is absent due to injury, while Yunus Musah is suspended.

Up front, Santiago Gimenez and Tammy Abraham will continue to compete for a starting spot, but there is no doubt about Christian Pulisic's presence.

Since joining Milan last season, the American star is one of only two players in Serie A to have at least 30 goals and 15 assists in all competitions – the other being Atalanta's Ademola Lookman.

Latest football commentary Napoli vs AC Milan

Playing earlier than their two direct competitors Inter Milan and Atalanta, Napoli have the chance to move to the top of Serie A when they visit Venezia in their final match before the international break.

A win at the Stadio Penzo would have put the pressure on the other teams, but an unconvincing display once again saw Antonio Conte's side settle for a goalless draw.

Inter then won in Bergamo, leaving Napoli three points behind as the season enters a crucial phase with nine games remaining.

Napoli have won just one of their seven Serie A games since the start of February – more than they lost in their first 22 games of the season – but they are still chasing their second Scudetto in three years.

With Conte, the fighting spirit has never died, especially when Atalanta is running out of steam and Inter has to work hard in three dense arenas in the coming time.

Napoli go into Sunday's game 14 points clear of Milan, having beaten the Rossoneri 2-0 at the San Siro in the first leg, with goals from Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – who is expected to return – scoring.

However, despite losing the last time they met, Milan are actually on a six-match unbeaten run at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in all competitions – including the 2023 Champions League quarter-final.

In all their history, Milan have never managed to go seven games unbeaten in Naples, but they are now just 90 minutes away from that milestone.

After a period of crisis, Milan have found stability again with two pillars Reijnders and Pulisic shining in the win over Como just before the international break, coming back from a first-half deficit.

Earlier, they also came from behind to beat Lecce with a brace from Pulisic. Milan are now on the verge of winning three consecutive Serie A games for the first time since September – when Paulo Fonseca was still in charge.

His successor, Sergio Conceicao, started by winning the Italian Super Cup, but rumours have swirled that he will leave after this season – with Antonio Conte himself the most talked-about replacement.

Amid criticism both on and off the pitch, Milan are currently ninth with 47 points. Only one team in the last 20 years has managed to finish in the top four at this point in the season.
