Napoli have been a huge success story this season and it appears that they are going to end a thirty-year drought when it comes to the Serie A title. Luciano Spalletti has assembled a really strong team of players who have been a winning machine since the season started and they won’t be heading to the San Siro in order to play defensive football.
We should expect the Serie A champions-elect to get on the front foot against a Milan side who will be wary of the attacking threat posed by Napoli, although Stefano Pioli’s side were able to snuff out the threat from Tottenham over two games recently, with the Rossoneri hoping to get some kind of first leg advantage before a journey south for the second leg.
The latest betting odds suggest that the first leg encounter could be a close one but that Napoli have a high percentage chance of going through. The fact that the title is practically in the bag could be a huge boost to their prospects of being successful in Europe, with some bookmakers having already paid out when it comes to them being champions.
Victor Osimhen has reached twenty goals domestically and the Nigerian is the talisman for a side who also boast Khvicha Kvaratskhelia causing all sorts of damage and it will be interesting to see whether Milan are able to lay a glove on these sort of opponents. We are going to expect goals to be scored when it comes to this first leg encounter.
