AC Milan take on the visitors Napoli in the round 10 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 29th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro - Milan).
Last season, the Rossoneri finished as runners-up in Italy, yet this achievement—and even their prior Scudetto win—wasn’t enough to keep Stefano Pioli in his role. Despite his success in restoring Milan to its former glory, the club parted ways with him in the spring. His successor, Paulo Fonseca, got off to a rough start, winning only in his fourth attempt against newly promoted Venezia and then suffering a disheartening 1-3 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League. Doubts surrounded Fonseca, but he managed to redeem himself by defeating Inter in the derby and crushing Lecce. While further setbacks followed against Bayer Leverkusen and Fiorentina, Milan managed to grind out a 1-0 win over Udinese, even playing over an hour with ten men, and subsequently beat Club Brugge 3-1 comfortably. Milan’s match against Bologna was then postponed due to heavy rain.

Napoli welcomes Antonio Conte back to Italy. Napoli had a disastrous previous season, with signs of decline already apparent in the second half of their prior title-winning campaign. Luciano Spalletti saw this coming and left as a champion. The following season, Napoli dropped from first to tenth in Serie A, missing out on European competition entirely. Additionally, star striker Victor Osimhen demanded an exit and eventually secured a loan to Galatasaray in early September. Amidst this turbulence, Conte arrived in Naples, starting with a hard-fought win over Modena in the cup, decided by penalties after a 0-0 draw, followed by a crushing 0-3 loss to Verona in Serie A’s opening round. Since then, only Juventus has managed to keep Napoli from scoring or winning, and the Partenopei have risen to the top of the Serie A standings by mid-autumn, recently securing a narrow 1-0 win over Lecce.
The Rossoneri have gone five matches unbeaten against Napoli across Serie A and the Champions League, with three wins and two draws. AC Milan will be favorites at home, but Conte’s squad has shown greater consistency. Napoli stands a solid chance of securing a draw or better.
Prediction for the match: Napoli not to lose (X2).
