Prediction and odds for the game: Napoli (21/20) vs Milan (13/5)

We are backing the draw at odds of 23/10

When: Sunday 6 March 2022, Kick-off 19:45

Where: The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

On Sunday night, Napoli host Milan at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, in what is a massive game in the race for the Scudetto in Serie A.

Napoli

The Partenopei are not in great form heading into this potentially pivotal clash in the title race. A last-gasp 2-1 win over Roma last time out ended a five-game winless run for Luciano Spalletti’s time in all competitions.

Despite their underwhelming recent results, Napoli are unbeaten in eight matches in Serie A, having recorded five victories in the process. That unbeaten run has kept the Azzurri in the race for the Italian top-flight title, as they are currently second place in the table, level on points with Milan and just a point adrift of reigning champions and league leaders Inter.

Their most recent league matches have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 11 matches in Serie A.

Napoli’s recent home record in the Italian top-flight is not a great one, as the Azzurri have won just two of their last six home matches in Serie A.

Milan

The Rossoneri’s form has been unconvincing of late in the Italian top-flight. A midweek 0-0 Coppa Italia draw with arch-rivals Inter means that Stefano Pioli’s team has now drawn their last three games in all competitions.

That run of results includes back-to-back disappointing league draws against Salernitana and Udinese. The recent draws mean that the visitors have now won just two of their last six matches in Serie A. Despite their underwhelming recent league results, Milan are still well in the fight for the Scudetto this season.

Their recent matches in the Italian top-flight have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine league matches.

Milan have been difficult to beat on their travels of late, as the Rossoneri have now lost just one of their last 16 away games in the Italian top-flight. That good run includes an undefeated away run of six matches in Serie A, including four wins and two draws.

The Rossoneri have been highly prolific on their travels in the Italian top-flight, scoring at least two goals in ten of their last 11 away matches in Serie A.

Conclusion

Both teams have decent recent league records, but neither has been outstanding. In terms of form and quality, there is not much between these two teams. That is why we are backing this clash to finish in a draw. We also believe this could be a tight encounter, which may be low-scoring. Therefore, we are also backing under 2.5 goals scored.

Our Tips: We are backing the draw at odds of 23/10 and/or under 2.5 goals scored at odds of 4/5. (All odds are taken from Bet365).
