12th April 2023 – 21:00, Stadio San Siro, Milano
Milan will take on Napoli in the all-Italian tie of the Champions League quarter-finals. The hosts hope for the same outcome from their previous Serie A clash, while the away side looks forward to staying undefeated in Milano.
Milan Preview & Team News
Milan enters this match coming off the back of a 0-0 Serie A tied result vs Empoli. Although many expected them to pick up where they left off after beating Napoli 4-0, Rossoneri continued spilling points. They slipped to 4th place, having just one point more than their fierce rival, Inter. In their last six fixtures, Stefano Pioli’s Milan has hit the target a combined total of 7 times which gives them an average number of goals per match of 1.17. They need to be much more consistent against powerful Napooli to progress to the next stage in this competition. Zlatan Ibrahimović (Muscular problems) and Pierre Kalulu (Calf Injury) won’t be able to feature for Milan coach Stefano Pioli.
Napoli Preview & Team News
Napoli comes into this encounter after a 2-1 Serie A win in the defeat of Lecce in their previous outing. They bounced back after losing to Milan and stayed comfortable on the top of the table. A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games involving Napoli has been fairly consistent recently. A glance at their last six games reveals that it’s occurred five times. During those clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 6, while Napoli has scored 11. That aside, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend might persist in this game or not. Owing to an otherwise available squad, there is just the sole fitness issue for the Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti to contend with. Victor Osimhen (Tear in the abductor muscle) might miss out for this game.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although Milan was confident in their previous Serie A clash ten days ago, this one could be a completely different story. Napoli can focus on its continental campaign after almost practically securing the Scudetto, and we don’t think they will lose at Stadio San Siro.
Goals Market Prediction
Their h2h clashes in Milano didn’t produce too many goals in the past period. Given the importance of this encounter, we expect this tradition to continue. Therefore, the crowd shouldn’t see more than two goals in total on Wednesday evening.
