Napoli 2-1 AC Milan

Current streaks

Recent form

Napoli

Napoli's recent form has been characterised by a series of draws, with four out of their last six matches ending in stalemates. The Partenopei have struggled to find consistency, managing only one win in this period, a narrow 2-1 victory over Fiorentina. Their defensive record has been mixed, conceding in five out of six games but maintaining a respectable goals conceded per game average of 1.17. Interestingly, Napoli have been involved in several closely contested matches, with 83% of their recent games seeing both teams score. The team's goal-scoring output has dipped slightly, averaging 1.17 goals per game, which is lower than their season average. Despite these challenges, Napoli have managed to maintain their second position in Serie A, suggesting their overall performance remains competitive despite the recent spate of draws.

AC Milan

AC Milan have been experiencing a mixed run of form recently, with their last six matches revealing a somewhat concerning trend. The Rossoneri have managed to secure two consecutive wins in their most recent Serie A fixtures, potentially signalling a turnaround in their fortunes. However, prior to these victories, the team endured a difficult spell, suffering three consecutive league defeats against Lazio, Bologna, and Torino. This poor run of form has contributed to their current 9th position in the league table, which is undoubtedly disappointing for a club of Milan's stature. Notably, the team has struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions. Their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals, and both teams finding the net in all six encounters. Despite their defensive woes, Milan have maintained a respectable goal-scoring record, averaging 1.5 goals per game in this period.

Recent home/away form

Napoli

Napoli have shown impressive form at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The Partenopei have secured four victories and two draws during this period, showcasing their strength on home turf. Notably, Napoli are currently on a three-match winning streak at home, having defeated Fiorentina, Juventus, and Hellas Verona. Their defensive prowess is evident, conceding only four goals in six games, with an average of 0.67 goals conceded per match. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, Napoli have consistently found the back of the net, scoring in all six matches. The team's solid home form has contributed significantly to their current second-place position in Serie A, with 61 points from 29 games.

AC Milan

AC Milan's recent away form has been patchy, with the Rossoneri struggling to find consistency on their travels. The team have experienced a concerning run of three consecutive away defeats across Serie A and the Champions League, losing to Bologna, Torino, and Feyenoord respectively. However, they managed to break this losing streak with a hard-fought 3-2 victory against Lecce in their most recent away fixture. Milan's away games have tended to be high-scoring affairs, with four out of the six matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Defensively, the team have been vulnerable, conceding in five of their last six away matches and keeping just one clean sheet. Despite their mixed form, Milan have shown they can still be dangerous on the road, scoring in five out of their six recent away games, including a 3-2 thriller against Lecce.
