AC Milan vs Napoli prediction 11.02.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Sunday, 11th February 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)

AC Milan’s performance last year was disappointing, with the team not winning any trophies. Their 4th place finish, securing a spot in Europe, was only achieved due to a 10-point deduction for Juventus. It appears that this season could be a repeat, with AC Milan already out of the Cup due to Atalanta and lagging eight points behind the first-placed Inter in Serie A, despite having played one more game. On a brighter note, the Rossoneri recently scored ten points in the last four Serie A matches, indicating potential for improvement.

Following their impressive third Scudetto win last year, Napoli was projected to have another successful season. However, the departure of coach Luciano Spalletti led to a downfall, leaving the Blues in 7th place, trailing four points behind the Champions League spots and 22 points from the league’s frontrunner, Inter. The team’s sole highlight this season has been their Champions League performance, where they have secured a spot in the knockout phase and are set to compete against Barcelona on February 21st.

AC Milan vs Napoli pick: AC Milan to win

AC Milan is performing well, having secured ten points in their past four matches. Their record includes three wins and a draw against Bologna, a match in which they were unfortunate to miss two penalties. If luck had been on their side, they could have had a four-match winning streak. The Rossoneri have shown impressive form at San Siro this season, winning eight out of 11 matches &— a 73% success rate.

Napoli’s performance this season has been highly erratic. Despite their strong away record earlier in the season, recent games have seen a downturn in their fortunes. In their last five matches, they only managed to secure one point and failed to score in four out of the five games. Given these circumstances, it’s difficult to anticipate a favorable outcome against a formidable home team such as AC Milan, particularly in the absence of their main attacker, Osimhen, who is currently participating in AFCON.

In the last head-to-head game in Naples, it was a tight 2:2 draw. However, taking everything into account, particularly Napoli’s recent performances in away games, we predict that AC Milan will secure a victory at San Siro.
