On the other hand AC Milan are top of the table at the moment, but let four points slip against lower-half rivals after drawing their last two league games after opening the scoring both times. The Coppa Italia draw against Inter in midweek means they already have three draws in a row, but a win in this clash could put the Rossoneri on course for their 19th Serie A title and first since the season. 2010/11 especially after already facing rivals like Inter Milan and Juventus. The last time 'Il Rossoneri' traveled to Napoli they ended up with a 3-1 win and will be looking to replicate that result.
Undefeated in six away games and racking up more points away than at home (same scenario as Napoli), Milan are the only Serie A team to have scored in all of their away games this season, but in addition, He has the best away attack in the entire SA.
