AC Milan vs Napoli Preview
Champions League Quarter-Final, Wednesday, April 12th, 20:00 (UK)
Napoli are 16 points clear in Serie A. They’ve performed magnificently across the campaign and have a huge chance of making their season even better with a tie they’ll be confident in overcoming. Spalleti’s side are considerable favourites to qualify for the next round but they may be without Victor Osimhen in the clash at the San Siro.
The away record of Napoli in recent months has been excellent, they’ve won eight matches on the bounce which has seen them concede just a single goal. Kim Min-Jae, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen have been three standout performers for Napoli this campaign on both ends of the pitch.
Milan won the Scudetto last season but they’ve been well off the pace this time around. They had the best defensive record in that title-winning campaign but have already shipped more goals with 36 across 29 matches, only seven sides have conceded more.
Rafael Leao is the clubs leading goalscorer with 10, he bagged a brace in that 4-0 dismantling of Napoli very recently. The Portuguese man has struggled with goals in Europe with just one arriving in eight appearances. Veteran, Olivier Giroud leads the way for his club with four strikes.
It’s a difficult game to judge in regards to the score and result, Milan have been a tricky side to predict for the majority of the campaign whilst Napoli will most likely be without their Nigerian talisman. Rafael Leao and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will be the main attacking threats for either club, they’re part of a bet builder that cashed comfortably in their most recent meeting.

To the Napoli fans and many more across world football, he is Kvaradona. Napoli fans won’t make light comparisons to the late Diego Maradona but Kvaratskhelia has been outstanding. Signed from Dinamo Batumi, Khvicha was unknown to the majority just last summer but his stock rises every time he plays.
The 22-year-old has taken Italy and the Champions League by storm, he’s scored 12 times and registered 10 assists in 25 Serie A outings with a further six goal involvements in seven games on Europe’s biggest stage.
In his 24 starts in Italy, Kvaradona has taken two or more shots in 18 matches. His record in the Champions League is even more impressive with a total of 30 shots at an average of 5.1 per 90 minutes, seeing multiple attempts arrive in his previous six appearances.
With Victor Osimhen’s fitness potentially keeping him out of the first leg, Khvicha will have a little more responsibility in the attacking areas. He managed three shots in the game against Milan just 10 days ago and is more than capable of producing that number once again.
Rafael Leao is Milan’s star, he’s well on course to record his best goals tally in the current campaign and should arrive here in high confidence after his own success in the most recent H2H with Napoli.
Leao has started 22 times this season in Italy, he’s had two attempts at goal in 20 separate matches. He’s started in all eight games in this competition, with multiple shots arriving in four of those clashes.
With Milan at home in the first leg, the emphasis will be on them to take the game to Napoli and aim to lead the tie going into the clash in Naples. Rafael Leao will be a key part of Milan’s success if there is to be any, he started on the bench in the game over the weekend so will be fresh heading into this matchup.
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Over 1.5 Shots
- Rafael Leao Over 1.5 Shots
