Match Preview
Napoli face a crucial game in their fight to reclaim the Scudetto from Inter Milan as they welcome AC Milan to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Antonio Conteโs second-placed team are three points behind his former club in the Serie A title race, but they could be six adrift by the time they kick off on Sunday. Inter face Udinese a few hours beforehand, while third-placed Atalanta can draw level on points with Napoli earlier in the day when they take on Fiorentina.
A run of just one win in their last seven games has damaged Napoliโs title hopes, and they will be desperate to regain momentum quickly following the international break.
In that sense, Milan perhaps represent ideal opposition. The Rossoneri sit a hugely underwhelming ninth in Serie A. Out of Europe, they are facing an uphill battle to even claim a Conference League spot.
Milan are four points behind Lazio in sixth and, having lost their last three games going into a meeting with the side with the best defensive record in Serie A, optimism of them prevailing away from home is likely to be thin on the ground.
