AC Milan – Napoli : Preview & Prediction
This quarter-final of the Champions League offers a match between two Italian teams. AC Milan, 4th in Serie A, will host Napoli, leader of the Calcio, this Wednesday, April 12 at 9 pm at San Siro. Napoli, victorious in their last three visits to Lombardy, will arrive at the San Siro with a big psychological advantage despite the uncertainty regarding their top scorer Victor Osimhen.
AC Milan has only shone once in its last 6 games, and that was at Napoli (0-4) on April 2 in the league. The other results were 3 draws at Tottenham (0-0), against Salernitana (1-1) and against Empoli (0-0) this weekend and 2 defeats at Fiorentina (2-1) and Udinese (3-1). Napoli, on the other hand, has won 11 of its last 13 matches, the last of which was on April 7 at Lecce (1-2). Away from home, the Neapolitans have won their last 8 trips, including 1 trip to Frankfurt (0-2) in the Champions League on February 21.
The Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic is counted absent from the Milanese ranks while Kalulu remains uncertain. Neapolitan striker Simeone is also uncertain. Big question about the best striker of the Calcio, Victor Osimhen. According to the Gazzetta, “optimism is growing” about the participation of the Nigerian for this first leg, but the answer will be given a few minutes before kick-off. The international striker of AC Milan, Leao, has been decisive in his last games with 3 goals and 1 assist in his last 3 performances. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who was mute in the last two games of Napoli, could wake up during this European meeting. The latter shines in C1 with 2 goals and 4 assists in 7 games as well as in the league (12 goals and 10 assists).
