Napoli have performed better than Milan so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
Napoli have less rest than Milan in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Serie A game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Genoa, so at least Napoli are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Napoli form and stats
7 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Napoli have to build on here at Stadio San Paolo, Napoli in the Serie A. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Napoli, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Happy days for Napoli in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Genoa (placed 18th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Ahead of that match, Napoli won a home game hosting Roma (2-1).
The victory against Genoa came after Hirving Lozano's winning goal. The Napoli manager I. Gattuso was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 64th minute.
There will be little rest for Napoli after this match as they are travelling to Bologna for a Serie A game in only three days.

Milan can call themselves comeback kings after the match against Juventus. Buried deep in trouble at 0-2, the troops rallied and completely turned the match around to a 4-2 victory. Ante Rebić scored the final goal. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Milan, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A quick return to home after this game, as Milan are hosting Parma in the Serie A only three days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Milan's attacking play in away games, having scored 24 goals in 16 league matches away. 22 goals have been conceded by Milan in these games.
