Milan – Napoli, first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, will be played at 21:00 on Wednesday 12 April at the San Siro stadium.
It will be a game full of tensions and which represents a fundamental step in the season for both teams.
Below is our pre-match analysis of Milan – Napoli and the state of the injured.
State of form of Napoli
Napoli occupies the first place in Serie A with 74 points, 16 more than the second in the standings (Lazio with 58 points).
During the last 5 games, Napoli collected 4 wins and 1 defeat (precisely against Milan), scoring 11 goals and conceding 5 (4 in the defeat against Milan).
The Neapolitans will not be able to count on their spearhead, osimhen. Furthermore, in the last few hours, Simeone, always prolific in the Champions League, also seems to have been injured.
State of form of Milan
Milan occupies the fourth position in Serie A with 52 points, one more than Inter and four more than Atalanta. Qualification for the next Champions League, therefore, is still in the balance for the Milanese.
During the last 5 games, Milan collected 1 win, 1 loss and 3 draws, scoring 6 goals and conceding 4.
The Milanese will have to do without Kalulu, injured in his calf, and the now always absent Ibrahimovic.
Milan – Naples: which is the favorite team
Talking about favorite teams based on the state of form that emerges from the teams' last matches, when it comes to the Champions League, it's always a gamble. Proof of this is Milan's phenomenal performance against Napoli a few days ago.
The sure thing is that both teams will take the field "with blood in their eyes", ready to sell their lives dearly in order to reach the Champions League semi-finals and write history.
