Zlatan Ibrahimovic made the difference with a “double” in the round match, won 3-1 by “Diavol” in southern Italy. Milan lost contact with the Inter leader after the 0-3 defeat in the city derby. He remained on the 2nd place, six points below Inter and only four over Juventus, which also has a less disputed game. The “Rossoneri” suffered completely without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will also miss this match, along with Bennacer, Mandzukic, Rebic and Romagnoli. They also stumbled in the last match at home, 1-1 with Udinese, after losing to Spezia, before the failure with Inter. But Milan comes after a 1-1 morale on the field of Manchester United, in the eighth round of the Europa League, after Kjaer equalized in overtime. Stefano Pioli’s team is undefeated in the last five matches, in which it has two victories and three draws. However, he did not win in the last three games on the San Siro: failure with Inter and draws with Steaua Rosie and Udinese.
Napoli is only on the 6th place in Serie A, nine points behind Milan, but a short distance from the Champions League places. The group from southern Italy is undefeated in the last four matches and comes after a 3-1 victory against Bologna, at home. But Gennaro Gattuso’s men have a very bad series away. They are without a victory of seven games, of which they lost six. Napoli have not won any of the last five direct duels against Milan. The captain of the Neapolitans, Lorenzo Insigne, is the top scorer in Serie A in 2021, with eight successes, tied with Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Muriel. He scored six goals in the duels with Milan. Piotr Zielinski also contributed to 11 goals this season, with six successes and five assists. Ghoulam and Petagna, both injured, will not play against Milan.
