On Saturday night, Napoli host AC Milan at the Sao Paolo in Serie A, as the men from Naples look to record their second league win of the season.

Napoli kicked off their Serie A campaign with a 2-1 win at Lazio. The home side will be hoping to mount another challenge for the Scudetto this season. Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be difficult opponents for any team, as they have lost just three of their last 38 Serie A games.

Napoli are formidable opponents at the Sao Paolo in Serie A, as they have won nine of their last 11 outings. The home side has also scored at least two goals in their last four league games on home soil.

When it comes to Serie A games against AC Milan at home, Napoli are unbeaten in seven games. Napoli have also scored at least twice in six of their last seven home meetings with the Rossoneri at the Sao Paolo.

Milan’s opening fixture in Serie A with Fiorentina was postponed, so Gennaro Gattuso’s side will be looking to make a winning start to their league campaign in Naples.

The visitors have become a tough team to defeat in Serie A, as the Rossoneri have lost just two of their last 20 Serie A outings. Gattuso’s side also won three of their last four league games last season.

Milan’s games have not been ultra-high scoring of late, but their last four Serie A games have seen both teams score.

The visitors do not have a great recent away record in Serie A. However, once again they have been hard to beat on their travels, with just one defeat in their last ten outings.

Forebet predicts that Napoli’s good run of form at home will continue, with Carlo Ancelotti’s team recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
