Prediction: 2-0
Milan
There will be fireworks when Napoli and Milan square off against each other at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the Serie A derby. Top position in the standings is at stake, and Luciano Spalletti’s troops are seen as slim favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Both Malcuit and Lozano are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Lorenzo Insigne, who found the net in a 2-1 win over Lazio at the weekend.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Udinese. Milan are eager to regain first place, but seeing that Napoli have turned their stadium into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Zlatan Ibrahimovic faces race against clock to be fit for the match, while Simon Kjaer remains in the recovery room.

The Rossoneri play their home games at Stadio San Siro (80,018), the stadium that was opened in 1926.

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).
