Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Napoli, 8th position with 35 points and a positive goal difference of +6
AC Milan, 3rd position with 49 points and a positive goal difference of +19
AC Milan are not slowing down and get back to the race for the Scudetto. Milan won the Serie A Week 24 game on Sunday 11 February 2024 in San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Napoli failed and their chances to be among the top 4 is a mirage. The Italian champions need points to get closer to fourth place which means the Champions League. Now in ninth place and with their top scorer, Victor Osimhen, currently involved in the Africa Cup of Nations final between his Nigeria and the Ivory Coast, they will rely on Simeone in attack.
Milan continues to win and takes home three precious points that keep fifth place at a distance, now at 13 points.
Milan and Napoli meet with the Rossoneri ahead in the standings by 14 points. On the one hand, the Rossoneri are in a sort of limbo, far from the top, but also from the Europa League zone and with an eye on the first leg of the Europa League match against Rennes next Thursday.
AC Milan opened the score in the 25th minute. Forward Théo Hernández defeated Napoli goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini with a left-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Rafael Leão.
✅ Stats before the game: Great balance in the last 10 matches between Milan and Napoli in Serie A: three wins for each side and four draws, after in the 10 previous matches between the two teams in the championship the Neapolitans had recorded seven successes (2N, 1L). After the 2-2 draw in the first leg, Milan and Napoli could draw both seasonal Serie A matches for the first time since 2019/20 (1-1 at Meazza and 2-2 at Maradona in that case). Milan and Napoli have drawn 26 of the 75 matches at home to the Rossoneri in Serie A (32 victories in Lombardy and 17 in Campania): on the one hand, only against Juventus (34) have the Rossoneri achieved more draws in home matches in the tournament, on the only against Roma (29) have the Neapolitans recorded more “X” signs away from home in the top division. Since mid-December 2023, Milan has earned 2.5 points on average in Serie A (in eight matches, six wins and two draws), only Inter (2.7) has recorded a higher average points in the period.
👉 Lineup AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjær, Gabbia, Hernández; Bennacer, Adli; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leão; Giroud.
