18th April 2023 – 21:00, Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples
Napoli will host Milan in the second-leg match of the Champions League quarter-finals. The home side seeks a win to proceed to the next round, while the visitors hope to remain undefeated in this game.
Napoli Preview & Team News
Napoli prepares for this fixture after a 0-0 Serie A drawn game versus Hellas Verona. Nevertheless, this clash against Milan is the most important for the hosts at this stage of the season since they have already comfortable at the top of Serie A. An interesting feature of recent Napoli games is the number of results with nil in them. Taking their previous sextet of matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them, a wager on BTTS would’ve been a losing one. After a narrow 1-0 defeat in Milano, Napoli needs to get back on the winning track in this one. There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group. Giovanni Simeone (Biceps femoris muscle injury) is out of contention. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Frank Anguissa and Min-Jae Kim.
Milan Preview & Team News
In their previous game, Milan drew 1-1 in the Serie A tie with Bologna. However, Rossoneri shouldn’t lose focus on the Italian top flight since they are 4th, with only two points more than Inter. In the course of their six previous matches, Stefano Pioli’s Milan has turned their attacks into goals eight times – giving them goals scored per game average of 1.33. They need a disciplined performance in the back to keep the aggregate score on their side. Milan boss Stefano Pioli has to choose a team with limited availability. Zlatan Ibrahimović (Muscular problems) and Simon Kjaer (Rest) can’t be considered.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It is going to be another interesting clash between these two sides in a short timeframe. Napoli dominated a week ago, but the hosts need to chase the opponent’s advantage. Nevertheless, we believe the hosts will beat their rivals this time and possibly progress to the next round.
Goals Market Prediction
Napoli doesn’t have space to calculate, and they should attack from the first minute. Since their offense has been quite productive this season, we think they could drive this match over a 2.5 margin.
