Serie A PREVIEW | Milan vs Napoli | OneFootball

Milan lock horns with Napoli in the weekend’s one of the most high-octane fixtures in Serie A to watch.

Stefano Pioli’s men earned a comfortable 3-1 victory against Dinamo Zagreb in the midweek, thanks to the Rossoneri’s inspiring display in the second half. Napoli enjoyed another decent night in the UCL as they thrashed Rangers 3-0 on the latter’s home soil.

Both teams have been on an unbeaten run. But on a scale, Luciano Spalletti’s side has showcased more flamboyance with their way of playing football. Plus, the home side will also be missing some notable names, making them look like an underdog ahead of the mega fixture on Sunday evening.
