Napoli have lost only two league-games this season and one of those defeats came against Lazio (1-0) at the start of March. Since then, Luciano Spalletti’s side have recorded three consecutive wins in all competitions, scoring nine times and conceding none during that period. Last time out, the Blues put four goals past Torino without reply thanks to Victor Osimhen’s efforts either side of Khvicha Kvratskhelia’s penalty kick and Tanguy Ndombele’s 68th-minute strike. It was Partenopei’s 23rd top flight victory of the season. Prior to that, the Little Donkeys thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 at home to secure a 5-0 aggregate-win and progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Milan, on the other hand, are going through a torrid period, having not tasted victory in their last four outings in all competitions, while losing two of those matches. Stefao Pioli’s side lost out to mid-table side Udinese in their last outing despite the fact that Zlatan Ibrahimovic got on the score sheet. Rossoneri’s last league-win came against Atlanta (2-0) towards the end of February, and it was their 14th top flight victory of the campaign. Although Milan lost 2-1 to Napoli in the reverse fixture at San Siro in September last year, Pioli’s side have prevailed in their last two visits to Naples.
Napoli probable starting lineup: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Kim, Rrahmani, Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Simeone, Kvaratskhelia
AC Milan probable starting lineup: Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez; Bennacer, Tonali; Diaz, Krunic, Leao; Giroud
