Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Milan
All eyes will be on Stadio San Paolo when Napoli and Milan face each other in the Serie A on Sunday evening. The Neapolitans quickly bounced back from a shocking 2-0 loss to Sassuolo, with the team beating Bologna thanks to Victor Osimhen’s goal, but Genaro Gattuso’s men do not want to stop now. Since the former Milan midfielder has a full squad to choose from, home win should definitely be considered.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, saved one point from the match against Verona in the stoppage time, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic extending his brilliant goalscoring run. Ibra is not getting any older, but seeing that Napoli have turned their Stadio San Paolo into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Milano empty-handed. Both Romagnoli and Saelemaekers are rated doubtful for the Napoli game.

Highlighted Team (Milan):
AC Milan are regarded as one of the biggest club in Italy. The Rossoneri compete in the Italian Serie A and they have won 18 domestic trophies. Speaking of the club’s European success, Milan have clinched seven Champions League (European Cup) trophies.
Milan were on the verge of beating Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final, but the Premier League outfit came from three goals behind and eventually won the prestigious trophy on penalties. The Rossoneri play their home games at Stadio San Siro (80,018), the stadium that was opened in 1926. It is well known that Milan’s bitterest rivals are Inter and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Madonnina.
Milan were founded in 1899 by a lace-maker from England named Herbert Kilpin and a businessman Alfred Edwards. Milan’s home kits are red and black and that is why the team’s nickname is Rossoneri (The Red and Blacks).
The likes of Alessandro Costacurta, Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Roberto Donadoni, Dejan Savicevic, Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Andrea Pirlo are the most famous footballers who have represented the San Siro outfit.
