4. Great run of form

Napoli currently sit in third place in the Serie A with 41 points. They have not lost a league game since October 29th against leaders Juventus which ended 2-1 to the Old Ladies. Unbeaten in their last 13, Napoli are looking forward to continuing their stellar run of form.

Their form has been greatly helped by their ability to score goals. The team has scored three or more goals in six of their last eight games, boasting an impressive +16 goal differential in that span. The defense has had a bit of a struggle keeping the opposition off the score sheet, but this is often combated with their sheer ability to score more than them.

This tactic is risky against a hard working and tough side like AC Milan. The team will not be able to rely simply on goals alone and will need to be solid in all aspects of the game if they want to come out with all three points. Milan have had some struggle scoring goals this season, so Napoli will hope to continue their struggles and shut down the energetic attack of the Rossoneri.
