Milan and Napoli are locked on 14 points at the top of the Serie A table as they prepare to do battle at the iconic San Siro on Sunday night.
Napoli find themselves atop the standings thanks to their superior goal difference, with third-place Milan sitting below second-place Atalanta.
Both sides have yet to taste defeat in the league this season, meaning Sunday’s clash is destined to be a close-fought battle between two in-form teams.
Let’s start by looking at the hosts, Milan, who have claimed four wins and two draws from their opening six Serie A clashes.
The defending champions have won three of their previous four league outings, dispatching Bologna, Inter and Sampdoria.
Not only have Milan avoided defeat in each of their last 22 Serie A games, but they have also avoided defeat in 25 of their previous 26.
Thanks to Wednesday’s 3-1 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League, Milan have kicked off the season with an eight-game unbeaten streak.
Napoli have also claimed four wins and two draws in Serie A this term, scoring 13 goals while conceding just four.
In addition to boasting the best offensive record in the division, the team from Naples have the second-best defensive record.
Thanks to a strong end to the previous campaign, Napoli have only lost three of their last 25 Serie A encounters.
On Wednesday, Napoli beat Rangers 3-0 in the Champions League – building on a hugely impressive 4-1 victory over Liverpool on Matchday 1.
Head-to-head: Across the past nine meetings between Milan and Napoli, there have been three Milan wins, three Napoli wins and three draws.
It is also worth noting that there have been no home wins in the previous seven league meetings between Milan and Napoli.
Team news: Alessandro Florenzi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ante Rebic and Divock Origi are all injured for Milan.
Napoli will be without the injured duo of Diego Demme and Victor Osimhen on Sunday. Hirving Lozano is also a doubt.
Given that Milan and Napoli will be eager to protect their unbeaten records this weekend, both sides are likely to be happy to settle for a draw.
For that reason, Forebet predicts that Milan and Napoli will share the points on Sunday – with both teams scoring over 1.5 goals.
