The Partenopei continue their march to the league title in these Napoli vs. Milan predictions. The current Scudetto holders are in miserable form without a win in three games and pressure mounting on Stefano Pioli.
Napoli vs. Milan odds
1 – Napoli to win – 4/5
2 – Victor Osimhen to score first – 4/1
3 – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score anytime – 12/5
4 – Over 2.5 goals scored – No – 17/16
5 – Both teams to score – 22/23
It is a preview of the Champions League quarter-final as Napoli welcome Milan to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday. The hosts are just a few steps away from mathematically sealing the Scudetto and will be keen to do the double over the reigning champions.
For Milan, defeat on Sunday would not only mark their third in four Serie A matches but would also have phycological implications for their upcoming Champions League double-hitter against Napoli. Given that the UEFA competition is the Rossoneri’s last chance of success this season they will be keen to make a statement against the Partenopei on Sunday.
Unfortunately for Stefano Pioli’s side, it is hard to see past a Napoli win this weekend, despite the hosts losing their first game at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona just the other week to Lazio. In spite of this brief blip, Luciano Spalletti’s men have been ruthless at home and are our tip to storm to an easy win.
Napoli have been impressive all over the pitch however it is their front line that has caught the headlines this season. The duo of Victor Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia have been amongst the most lethal in Europe, contributing to over 60 goals in all competitions.
Surprisingly, neither managed to score when Napoli beat Milan in the reverse fixture, however, it would be a surprise to see neither on the scoresheet on Sunday. Osimhen has four goals in his last two games and is our tip to score first whilst with two in his last three, we also back Kvaratskhelia to get in on the act against Milan.
The reverse fixture this season ended 2-1 to the Partenopei, who were without their Nigerian talisman, so it would come as no surprise to see the hosts even more prolific this weekend. A wager on over 2.5 goals scored in Naples could therefore be a way to make returns from an entertaining fixture.

Napoli team news
Luciano Spalletti is unlikely to make many changes to his regular starting XI for Sunday’s game. Giacomo Raspadori and Diego Demme are both long-term absentees whilst Mario Rui will battle with Mathias Olivera for a start at full-back.
Milan team news
Stefano Pioli will have to decide whether to stick with the team that lost to Udinese before the international break. Pierre Kalulu’s injury will see Simon Kjaer step into midfield whilst Davide Calabria may feature at right-wing back. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to start over Olivier Giroud up front.
