Overview of the match for AC Milan vs Napoli
Sunday evening kick -off of Serie sees the potential title rivals AC Milan and Napoli face in San Siro.
While the reconstruction of Milan has grown in recent weeks, the reigning scudidetto holders still have a perfect championship record, promising a confrontation with high issues on the field and on the sidelines.
After a trembling start to the season, AC Milan has regained its stride, winning its last three Serie games without conceding, a race that corresponds to the best of the club in the last five years.
Last weekend, Christian Pulisic’s splint propelled the Rossoneri to a 3-0 victory against Udinese, raising Milan in the first three of the table.
Their momentum continued on Tuesday as they advanced in the Italia COPPA, sending 10 LECCE men with another triumph 3-0 in San Siro. Santiago Gimenez finally put an end to his lens drought, while Pulisic and Christopher Nkunku also obtained the match sheet, ensuring that Milan sheds light on their cutting tie.
The influence of Massimiliano Allegri is already clear. The return coach has solidified a defense that previously leaned, Milan keeping five clean leaves in six games so far, including the two cup games.
Allegri, however, had to look in the middle of the week from the stands while serving a ban after his notorious antics in the final of Coppa Italia in 2024. On Sunday, he faces a fiery tactical battle against Antonio Conte. The couple only met nine times in their careers, allegori victorious only two times, and that has been almost 12 years since their last confrontation.
Sunday promises a force of force with high issues between two of the most formidable managers in Italy.
