Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
AC Milan, 3rd position with 57 points and a positive goal difference of +24
Napoli, 2nd position with 57 points and a positive goal difference of +30
This is it. AC Milan take the first position after winning the Serie A Week 28 defeating Napoli on Sunday 6 March 2022 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Napoli, Italy. Milan conquered the Maradona and get back to the top of the standings overtaking Inter (58) (with a pending game). Surely, a tactical and nervous game for large stretches, Napoli struggled to make themselves incisive, Theo Hernandez and Saelemaekers in the final almost doubled on the counterattack. On the twenty-ninth round, Napoli will visit Hellas Verona while Milan will face Empoli in San Siro.

✅ Stats before the game. AC Milan have only won one of their last 14 Serie A matches with Napoli (3-1 away from home on 22 November 2020) and in this set they have suffered eight defeats (5D), including the last two in chronological order (both for 0-1). Milan won in the last away match in Naples of the championship (3-1 on 22 November 2020) and have not obtained two wins in a row at the Azzurri’s home in Serie A since 1981 (in that case the second game ended 1-0 for the Rossoneri thanks to Ferrario’s own goal). Milan come from two consecutive draws in the league and have not collected three in a row in Serie A since September 2018, under the guidance of Gennaro Gattuso (three “Xs” in that case with Cagliari, Atalanta and Empoli). Milan have conceded seven goals from corner developments in this league (only Cagliari did worse with eight), including the first leg match against Napoli; the Rossoneri have conceded 24% of the goals in this Serie A from this game situation (no team has done worse in percentage).
👉Lineup NAPOLI (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Koulibaly, Mário Rui; Fabián, Lobotka; Politano, Zieliński, Insigne; Osimhen.
👉Lineup AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Kalulu, Hernández; Bennacer, Tonali; Messias, Kessie, Leão; Giroud.
