Italy – Serie A.
Date: Saturday, 26th January 2019.
Kick-Off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Two of the biggest teams in Italy will meet this Saturday in Serie A at San Siro. Milan will be looking to break the jinx against Napoli this time around.
There is a big gap between them in terms of points. Napoli is 13 points ahead of Milan even though they are second and fourth respectively. Milan has drawn in 7 of their 20 matches so far. This points to a poor scoring form of Higuain and the team.
Milan is looking very strong. Apart from a defeat to reigning champs Juventus, Milan is unbeaten in the previous five matches in all competitions. Less than 2.5 goals came in those 4 matches and they maintained a clean sheet in 3 matches as well.
A similar run can also be seen at home for the Red and Black, as they have three wins and a loss in both league and Cup.
Napoli has won 8 of their previous 10 matches across all venues. The two defeats came against Liverpool in the Champions League and Inter in Serie A. Fewer than 2.5 goals were scored in 5 of their previous 7 matches in all competitions.
Both their defeats came away from home, which will make Milan interested in this game. Less than 2.5 goals were scored in their last 3 matches on the road, with all games ending 1-0.
Since the last meeting between them at San Siro was a goalless draw, we can expect the same this time too.
AC Milan vs Napoli: Head-to-head (h2h)
- With 6 wins included, Napoli is unbeaten against the Devils in the previous 8 h2h matches.
- In 6 of those 8 matches, the final score had over 2.5 goals in total.
- Napoli is unbeaten in the recent 3 meetings against Milan at this venue.
- The Blues have won 3 and lost one of the previous 5 h2h matches at this venue against the hosts.
- More than 2.5 goals were scored in 3of those 5 previous h2h matches held here.
AC Milan vs Napoli: Prediction
The team from Naples are one of the best teams in Italy right now. Their attacking lineup will including players like Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne is a class apart. Adding the tactics of Carlo Ancelotti to that, we may see Milan lose yet again. On the basis of the unbeaten run of Napoli, I would prefer betting on an away win with 1.50 odds.
Less than 2.5 goals were scored in 3 previous away games of the Blues. While the Red and Blacks are struggling to score and 2 of their recent home games had less than 2.5 goals too. So we can bet on a low scoring match on Saturday with 1.90 odds.
