Match preview
The winner of this match will top Serie A come Monday morning. A draw will see Inter leapfrog the pair on goal difference after winning their match at home against Salernitana.
SSC Napoli come into the match on a run of eight league games undefeated. They have picked up 14 points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
I Partenopei won their last league match away to Lazio Roma. Expected goals of 1.4 to 0.8 in favour of Lazio indicates Napoli didn’t deserve all three points on the balance of chances created.
It looked like Napoli had dropped two points when they conceded an equaliser minutes before the final whistle. Fabián had other ideas though, scoring from outside the box in injury-time to seal a much-needed win. The final score of the match was 1-2.
Their opponent on Sunday, AC Milan, come into the match on a run of six away league games undefeated. They have picked up nine points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Serie A matches.
The Red and Blacks shared the points in their last league match at home to Udinese Calcio. Expected goals of 0.8 to 0.7 in favour of AC Milan indicates both teams probably deserved only a point.
It was Rafael Leão’s opening goal on the half-hour mark that proved enough to secure a point for AC Milan. Milan will be frustrated at their failure to either shut the game down or add to their lead here.
Leão now has eight league goals this season for Milan and is 3.75/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-1.
