Napoli vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-03-29 18:45.
[p]As the Serie A season now enters the home straight, Napoli will be viewing every game as a âmust-winâ as they attempt to catch Inter Milan. A raft of draws in recent weeks has dented their title aspirations, with Napoli winning just one of their last seven league games (D5, L1), a run of form that prior to the round found them 13th in the form table since the start of February![/p]
[p]The Azzurri are at least unbeaten in their last six home league games (W4, D2), but the fact theyâve conceded exactly once in the last four of those highlights an area that could be improved. A favourable run of seven games to end the season could still see them claim the title, but first theyâll have to overcome an AC Milan side that Napoli havenât beaten in any of the last six home H2Hs (D3, L3) before they face a tough trip to top-four hopefuls Bologna next week.[/p]
[p]Over that same seven-game period where Napoli have faltered, AC Milan have collected 13 points, but despite their revival they still start this round four points adrift of the top six. Milan have struggled so badly this term that their 47 points are fewer than theyâve managed in eight of the last nine Serie A campaigns at this stage, although the one season in which they had fewer points they rallied late on to sneak into the top six. [/p]
[p]After winning their last two league games, they could now win three in a row in Serie A for the first time since September. Milan did things the hard way in those two games, winning despite conceding first, and they ought not to be too despondent if they fall behind again here, as theyâve scored in 15 of their last 16 away H2Hs (W4, D6, L6). Thatâs been a theme this season too, as no Serie A side has failed to score in fewer away games than Milanâs one.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Napoliâs Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring in the reverse H2H, but four of his five career goals against AC Milan prior closed the scoring. Christian Pulisic has scored three of Milanâs last four Serie A goals – six of his last seven club strikes arrived after half-time. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Milan have scored after the 70th minute in six of their last seven league games. [/p]
