At the Stadio Maradona, today, Napoli-Milan will be played.
The Azzurri come into this match with a 14-point lead over the Rossoneri (61 to 47), and only in three of the 153 previous meetings between the two teams in the history of the top flight have they faced the Rossoneri with a greater advantage in the standings.
The team's recent record on Napoli's ground, however, is decidedly favorable: Milan has remained unbeaten in its last six away matches against Napoli across all competitions (3 wins, 3 draws) and has never recorded seven consecutive away games without defeat against the Azzurri in its history.
It is impossible to underestimate the quality and flair of Rafael Leão, who has been involved in four goals in his last six matches against Napoli (two goals and two assists), including a brace at the Maradona in the league on April 2, 2023 (in the Rossoneri's 4-0 victory). The Portuguese forward, who has scored 10 goals and provided 9 assists in 40 appearances this season for Milan across all competitions, could reach double digits in both goals and assists for the fourth consecutive season with the Rossoneri, becoming the third player in the top five European leagues (all competitions) to achieve double figures in both goals and assists in each of the last four seasons (since 2021/22), after Mohamed Salah and Bruno Fernandes.
