After an unexpected break due to severe flooding in Bologna, AC Milan are back in action on Tuesday, and it’s no small fixture as they welcome league leaders Napoli to the San Siro.
Tuesday’s encounter is a daunting prospect for the Rossoneri, who’ve had a bit of a mixed start to the season, sitting sixth with 14 points from four wins, two draws, and two losses over their first eight matches. Not the most impressive record by their lofty standards. However, Milan’s home form could be a reason to be optimistic as they’ve won their last three matches at the San Siro and only conceded twice in five home games.
That defensive stability at home has given their attacking players room to thrive, especially Christian Pulisic, who’s been impressive this season. The American has been central to nearly all of Milan’s best forward play, plundering seven goals and adding three assists across competitions. Five of those goals have come in Serie A, making him Milan’s top scorer and a real threat Napoli will need to watch closely.
And speaking of threats, Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who leads his team with four league goals, is equally dangerous and should pose a serious test for the Milan backline. With both Inter and Juventus only managing a draw on Sunday, Napoli are now four points clear at the top with 22 points from nine games and the Partenopei will be eyeing this fixture as a chance to solidify or even extend that lead.
Having racked up seven league wins this season and boasting a defence that has conceded only five goals across the season, with three straight clean sheets in their last three away games, Napoli will arrive at the San confident of leaving with a result.
