Reason for AC Milan vs Napoli Predictions
It took 11 years to see AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the shoes of a second in the group ranked behind Chelsea, the Lombard club crossed swords with Tottenham in the round of 16 and ensured their qualification thanks to a single goal scored in this double confrontation 1-0 in Milan, 0-0 in London. Things are not going as well for the Rossoneri on the national stage. In any case, they would have had very little chance of retaining their title of Italian champions, given the titanic season that Napoli is having. Charles De Ketelaere finally shows the qualities he possesses, he has excellent technique, and he is unstoppable in a one-on-one game. Rafael Leao is a great player, and he creates a lot of problems for his opponents. For AC Milan, Stefano Pioli hopes to be able to use French executive defender Kalulu, who has suffered a calf injury since the break. Brazilian striker Messias (rotation) was also in doubt but was able to make a comeback last weekend against Empoli, while legend Ibrahimovic and second-in-command Adli, Vranckx, and Bakayoko are not entered in the Champions League.
Luciano Spalletti hopes to get him back on his feet for this first leg. The striker replacing Raspadori, author of 4 goals during the group stage, missed the double confrontation against Frankfurt in the round of 16 but is now fit to play and could be called upon to replace the former Lille player if necessary. Note that the little-used Demme (middle) is not qualified. Napoli relies on a very well-balanced team. Used on the left wing of the attack, the Georgian genius Kvaratskhelia is as skillful in the pass (16 TCC offerings) as in finishing actions (14 TCC goals). Politano could complete the attacking trident. Hirving Lozano is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, he has excellent ball control, and he can be satisfied with his performance. Victor Osimhen, who has scored eighteen goals for Napoli in Serie A this season, has only scored two goals in the Champions League, but the 24-year-old would lead the line here after scoring in his last seven Serie A games.
Conclusion
There are no favorites in this match, and we won’t be surprised if this clash could end in a draw.
We can expect a big fight between these two teams, and both of them should be able to score. One thing is for sure – football fans should enjoy this game.
