WOMEN, NAPOLI v AC MILAN: MATCH PREVIEW

If it's true that winning helps you to win, then it's forbidden to stop. Corti's Rossonere have reached the final away game of the season, to be played against a motivated Napoli, eager to secure points for survival. The top spot in this second phase has already been secured, but Milan wants to honour the championship and the supporters further cheer. On the eve of the match, let's delve into all things Napoli v AC Milan with our Match Preview.

LATEST FROM THE PUMA HOUSE OF FOOTBALL The 1-0 home victory against Como Women cemented the sixth spot in the league, the highest possible place in the second phase of Women's Serie A. With this achieved with two games to go, the Rossonere can now play with a free mind to close the season in the best possible way. The match against Napoli should not be underestimated, especially with the fresh memory of the disappointing draw away to Pomigliano. For the Rossonere, who have found the decisive goal beyond the 90th minute in each of the three league clashes against Napoli, it's another opportunity to showcase their progress.

LATEST FROM NAPOLI Biagio Seno's team finds itself in second-bottom in the table, leading Pomigliano by three points. If the championship ended today, Napoli would play in the relegation playoff, but there are two rounds left, and the last-day schedule reads Pomigliano v Napoli. Points are crucial, and the stakes are high. The match against AC Milan is a unique opportunity to aim for a big win and secure ninth position. To achieve this result, the team will rely on the classic 4-3-3 formation, with del Estal and Banusic as the main offensive threats and the support of their fans, in front of whom they've obtained their only two league victories.
