AC Milan vs Napoli Predictions and Free Betting Tips

AC Milan will have to be determined in the next game when they face Serie A leaders in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The visitors are one foot into the semis but only with a narrow 1-0 lead from the first leg. Which team will progress on aggregate? Here is our free Napoli vs AC Milan predictions:

Match Result Prediction: Napoli to Win

In the first Napoli vs AC Milan prediction, we are tipping Napoli to win the second leg with the expected return of Victor Osimhen who missed the first leg but featured for 17 minutes in Serie A over the weekend. Napoli dominated the first leg by 53% but couldn't make anything of it. This second leg will draw massive support from home fans and we think Napoli will win it.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

In our second Napoli vs AC Milan prediction, we are predicting an under 2.5 goals in the second leg of the UCL quarterfinals. AC Milan couldn't do much in the reverse leg at home, so they will have an even bigger task on this trip to Naples. We think the visitors will do more defending here, so Napoli has a tough task ahead to get anything from the game. We expect fewer than 3 goals on matchday.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Napoli

The final Napoli vs AC Milan prediction is a correct score. We think Napoli will bag the win with a clean sheet. While Frank Anguissa who picked a second yellow of the game will be missing in action after he was sent off with a red card, Napoli's squad has plenty of replacement for the midfielder. Back Napoli to win 2-0 at home on 16th April 2023.

Napoli vs AC Milan Champions League Fixture Preview

Napoli

Napoli was without Osimhen in the reverse leg, and his absence turned out to be a big blow for his team. The forward returned to action in a Serie A action against Hellas Veron but the leading scorer in the league came it 13 minutes after the hour-mark to hit the woodwork but that wasn't enough to earn his side a lead in a game that ended 0-0.

Osimhen is Napoli's top scorer and with the hosts now looking to overturn a 1-0 loss in the reverse leg, Osimhen is expected to be back in the final third. Napoli can hope to progress, noting that they leaked only one goal in the reverse leg. Moreover, Napoli had 6 shots on goal in the reverse leg from a total of 16 shots, 10 of which were off-target. The Italian side was highly offensive in the first game as they are manged to get 10 corners against 3 for AC Milna. A similar performance or event better, especially with the expected return of Osimhen in this second leg means we are likely to have a higher conversation rate from the hosts.

Napoli will be without Giovanni Simeone who is currently nursing a muscle injury while Kim-Jae Kim and Andr-Frank Anguissa are both suspended.

AC Milan

AC Milan hangs on a narrow 1-0 lead from the reverse fixture.  The visitors failed to win their Serie A match over the weekend against Bologan as it ended 1-1. So with both sides coming to this game with a draw from the domestic league, we expect a showdown in this second leg of the ULC quarterfinals as it will determine the Italian side that remains in the UEFA Champions League ahead of the semifinal draw, which is also likely to have Inter Milan that plays the second leg of the competition against Benfica.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not make this trip to Italy due to a muscle injury he has been nursing and he is expected to be back in action in late April.
