After away victory over Lazio, Napoli is about to try to win all three points in home match with Milan. On the other hand, this is the first official match for the Rossoneri in the new season as match with Genoa that was supposed to be played in the first round was postponed. We need to add that the last match between the two teams played in Milan had ended as a goalless draw, while before that the Neapolitans had three-game winning streak against Milan.

SSC Napoli

Of course that the Neapolitans want to defeat on Saturday their great rival from Milan for the third time in a row, especially as their self-confidence grew after they managed to win Lazio away 2-1 at the start of new season last weekend. At the same time it was debut of Napoli’s new manager Ancelloti and for him is also very important to open a page with the new team in the Serie A with a positive series.

The Neapolitans were trailing behind in the  match by 1-0 but thanks to goals scored by Milik and Insigne they managed to turn the result up-side down, meaning they preserved the winning mentality under new coach regardless are they play at home or away. Ahead of them is another difficult task and we expect to see on the pitch the same starting line-up that faced Lazio, especially as out of action are still injured goalkeeper Meret, defender Ghoulam and midfielders Younes.

Starting lineups SSC Napoli:Karnezis – Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui – Allan, Hamsik, Zielinski – Callejon, Milik, Insigne

AC Milan

We have said in the introduction about the guests from Milan that this will be their first official match in the new season given that due to bridge collapse in Genoa their match with Genoa C.F.C. was postponed, so only now in Naples we are going to see how new Milan looks on the pitch. The team is led by charismatic manager Gattuso who brought even eight new players this summer, while at the same time even 10 players left the team including experienced stopper Bonucci and forwards Kalinic and Silva.

Regarding newcomers, definitely the biggest name is Argentinian forward Higuain, who arrived as part of a package with stopper Caldero from Juventus, while midfielders Bakayoku from Chelsea and Lexalt from Genao, and right winger Castillejo from Villarerela have arrived near the end of the transfer window. The last two will probably stay on the bench on Saturday, while due to injuries currently are out of action defenders Conti, Zapata and Strinic, while winger Clahanoglu is suspended.

Starting lineups AC Milan: G. Donnarumma – Calabria, Caldara, Romagnoli, Rodriguez – Kessie, Biglia, Bakayoko– Suso, Higuain, Bonaventura

Verdict:

Napoli showed last weekend in Rome that under command new manager Ancelloti will play each league match of to win, which is why we give them advantage in this home match with Milan, for which this is the first official match in the new season.

Pick: Napoli wins 1.72 - 72/100 @1XBet
