Serie A Preview: AC Milan’s Home Performance Outstanding but Hampered by Injuries, Napoli to Field a Strong Squad

At 3:45 AM on October 30, Serie A will see a clash in the 10th round, with AC Milan hosting Napoli at home.

AC Milan currently has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in Serie A, earning just 14 points and ranking 8th in the league table. The team is already 8 points behind the league leaders, but their match against Bologna was postponed last round, meaning they have played one fewer game and are only 4 points behind second-placed Inter Milan. Last season, the team finished as runners-up in Serie A, and their goal this season remains to win the title.

In the first four home games of this season, AC Milan has achieved an unbeaten record of 3 wins and 1 draw, which is a stark contrast to their away record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses. In the four home games, the team has scored 10 goals, showing excellent offensive performance, and they have conceded only 2 goals in defense, indicating a significant psychological advantage when playing at home. If not for their poor away form, they would undoubtedly be in a better position in the standings.

Recently, Milan won 1-0 against Udinese in the league and then defeated Brugge 3-1 in the Champions League, securing two consecutive victories across all fronts. The team is currently in high spirits, and the players are confident about this strong matchup. In terms of injuries, Rienier picked up a red card in the last league game and will be unavailable for this match. Additionally, Gabbia, Abraham, Ben纳塞尔, and Florenzi are also out due to injuries.

Napoli has had a strong start to the Serie A season with a record of 7 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, accumulating 22 points and topping the league table. They lead second-placed Inter Milan by 4 points, placing them in a very favorable position at the start of the season. Last season, as defending champions, the team finished only 10th, but after a period of struggle, they have returned to challenge for the title this season.

In the first four away games of this season, Napoli has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, earning 7 points and ranking 4th in away points. This contrasts sharply with their perfect home record of 5 wins in 5 matches. In the four away games, Napoli has scored only 5 goals, showing a lackluster offensive performance, but they have conceded only 3 goals, demonstrating solid defensive form. It seems the team is somewhat cautious when playing away from home.

Recently, Napoli has secured five consecutive victories, and since their unexpected loss to Verona in the opening round of Serie A, they have not lost a single game across all competitions. The team is in excellent form. In terms of injuries, the only absentee is Spinazzola, and the squad is otherwise fully fit. They will field their strongest lineup to face the strong opponent AC Milan.

In the last 10 encounters between the two teams, AC Milan has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, giving them the upper hand. In the last 5 meetings, Milan has remained undefeated with 3 wins and 2 draws. For this match, Milan has the home advantage and a psychological edge, but they are more affected by injuries. Napoli, while cautious in away games, has a healthy squad. Both teams are set to deliver an exciting match.
