Prediction: 1-1
Napoli
Stadio San Siro will be the centre of attention when AC Milan and Napoli face each other in the Serie A derby. The Rossoneri were not in action at the weekend as their game against Bologna was postponed due to bad weather, meaning that tired legs should not be a problem for Paulo Fonseca’s troops. Rafael Leao returns to the starting XI after missing the Milan game following a fight with Fonseca, while the likes of Tammy Abraham, Luka Jovic, Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Bennacer, and Davide Calabria remain in the recovery room.
The Neapolitans, on the other hand, survived Lecce at the weekend, with captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo scoring the winner, but beating Milan at Stadio San Siro is easier said than done. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Tuesday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in six of the previous seven meetings between the two sides at the venue. The good news for the visitors is that important midfielder Stanislav Lobotka has overcome his injury.
