AC Milan and Napoli will battle it out underneath the San Siro lights this evening, with first place in the standings up for grabs. It’s expected to be a tight affair and the stats attest to this.
Massimiliano Allegri and his men have collected 9 points so far this season, winning three games on the bounce after the loss in the opening round. Tonight, they could make it 12 and reach Napoli in the standings.
Milan lost both of their games against the Napoli last season and will thus be looking for revenge, building on their overall positive tally against the Partenopei. Of course, it’s no easy task and this is something we covered in our preview for the big clash.
