Napoli take on the visitors AC Milan in the round 30 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, March 30th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples).
Napoli trying to regain lost ground from last season. The Partenopei won the Scudetto in style, but immediately after securing the title, Luciano Spalletti decided to leave, recognizing that the peak had already been reached. His timing proved correct, as the 2023/24 campaign turned into a massive disappointment. Yes, they managed to progress to the Champions League knockout rounds, but that was little consolation for a drop to 10th place in Serie A. Antonio Conte arrived in the summer and quickly revitalized Napoli, even after losing Piotr Zieliński and Victor Osimhen, followed by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s departure in January. Although their Coppa Italia run ended early with a loss to Lazio, in Serie A, they were neck and neck with Inter for a while. However, as winter drew to a close, results became more inconsistent. The only defeat came against Como, but in their last seven league matches, their only win was against Fiorentina, allowing their Milanese rivals to pull away at the top.

Milan had long been under Stefano Pioli’s leadership, during which he guided them back into the Champions League and even won the Scudetto. Last season, they finished as runners-up, with only a dominant Inter side ahead of them. Nevertheless, the club opted for a change, parting ways with Pioli. His replacement, Paulo Fonseca, struggled from the start, and by New Year’s, his sacking was inevitable. His successor, Sérgio Conceição, initially made a great impression, securing victories over Juventus and Inter to win the Supercoppa Italiana. However, that early optimism faded with disappointing results, including a Champions League exit to Feyenoord in February and several stumbles in Serie A. On the bright side, they managed to eliminate a resurgent Roma in the Coppa Italia and have recently secured league wins against Lecce and Como. Even so, with 47 points, Milan remain in a frustrating ninth place—far below their expectations for the season.
Milan had gone five consecutive matches without losing to Napoli, but this season, Conte’s side claimed a 2-0 victory in their previous encounter. These teams tend to produce pragmatic battles. Expect another low-scoring affair—bet on under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
