As mentioned below, Milan are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Serie A games.

Saelemaekers scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 26 successful passes (of 30 total).
Before that match, a Serie A win away at Sampdoria.This is expected to be a close game, with Milan perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Zieliński hit the woodwork once, hit eight key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 39 successful passes (of 46 total).

The Napoli manager Spalletti has got the team scoring on the road, with 7 away goals in 3 league matches.
