Milan vs Napoli 12.04.2023

Match Overview

The San Siro Stadium in Milan will be lit up in anticipation when these two Italian sides take each other on in the quarterfinal of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Although it is just the first leg, both teams will be hoping to have a definite result by the end of the evening. Milan have a big advantage given that they will be playing in front of their home supporters.

Key Highlights

Strangely enough, out of the 27 games played between these two teams recorded in modern history, Napoli have won twelve. Milan, on the other hand, have been victorious only on seven occasions. The rest of the eight matches were played out as drawn encounters. However, when these two teams met a few days ago in Naples, Milan thrashed their opponents by a 4-0 scoreline in the Serie A. The visiting side will still be trying to come to terms with that result.   

Injury Report

Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti will be bothered by the fact that his star striker Victor Osemhein has been ruled out of this game owing to a muscle injury. For Milan, it is veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will be missing in action. There are no other injuries or suspensions in either side.

Prediction

This is a very challenging game to call as Milan have been unbeaten in the last five home matches that they have played. Napoli, on the other hand, have not been defeated in the last eight matches that they have played away from home. Both teams appear to be very well-matched here. However, we feel that a prediction of BTTS is apt here.
