The final game of the weekend schedule is a huge tie and these Napoli vs. Milan predictions focus on a top-four battle in Naples. Both teams are balancing the demands of Champions League action while Inter lead the title race.
1 – Napoli to win – 14/11
2 – Napoli under 2.5 total goals – 2/11
3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 19/20
4 – Both teams to score – 3/4
5 – Napoli to win 2-1 – 17/2
The Sunday night Serie A fixture this weekend should be an intriguing battle, as defending champions host Milan in Naples. Both sides are already heavily involved in the early season title reckoning, with Inter holding the current advantage over both teams.
Rudi Garcia has recovered from a mixed start in Serie A, with Napoli also on track for a Champions League last 16 spot, and they have the edge in league form over Milan.
Stefano Pioli’s team have looked strong in recent weeks. But they have lost two of their last six league matches, compared to Napoli’s one defeat in their last six in Serie A. Napoli will also be boosted by an extra day of rest from midweek European action.
Their respective form indicates there will be goals at both ends in this clash, with Napoli scoring an impressive 12 in their last four league games and Milan bagging six in the same number of matches. Napoli are ahead in terms of goal scoring, but Milan’s rate is over one scored per game, and the visitors should manage to at least find the net in this contest.
The absence of Victor Osimhen is a blow for Napoli but his teammates have stepped up of late, with four goals scored in the first two games of his injury-enforced absence.
A Napoli win would be another sign of the team beginning to move in the right direction under Garcia’s leadership. But results elsewhere this weekend would also need to go in their favour for the picture in the top four to change significantly.

Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Olivera, Rrahmani, Natan, Rui; Elmas, Anguissa, Zielinksi; Politano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia
Milan (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Kjaeer, Florenzi; Krunic, Adli, Pobega; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao
Napoli’s injury picture remains unchanged ahead of this game, with star striker Osimhen still among the list of absentees. But the demands of midweek European action will mean changes, with Mathias Olivera and Elif Elmas possible starters.
Pioli will also be looking to keep his squad as fresh as possible as the games continue to increase. Malick Thiaw is suspended and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ismael Bennacer and Samuel Chukwueze are all still on the injury list ahead of the trip to Naples.
