Napoli can make a big statement regarding its Serie A title ambitions when it travels to face AC Milan on Tuesday.
Serie A leader Napoli will visit AC Milan on Tuesday with a point to prove as it seeks to boost its four-point cushion at the table summit in inhospitable conditions. Antonio Conte’s side have five in a row traveling to the San Siro and has gone undefeated in nine outings across all competitions, but more than two years have passed since Napoli beat the Rossoneri on their own pitch. Most teams in Italy’s top flight were in action over the weekend, but only time will tell whether Milan will benefit from an extra few days’ rest after Saturday’s clash with Bologna was postponed.

The wet conditions in Emilia-Romagna meant Milan’s fixture this past weekend had to be pushed back until later in the campaign, giving Paulo Fonseca’s side some welcome respite.
However, the postponement also came with some burden, most notably the fact that Theo Hernandes and Tijjani Reijnders are now suspended for Tuesday’s clash with the current Serie A leader.
Milan has managed to win its last two matches but hasn’t notched three straight all season, and a Napoli team unbeaten since the opening weekend of the season won’t be all that accommodating.
Conte & Co. were delighted to see title rivals Inter Milan and Juventus finish all square at the San Siro on Saturday, as they finished all level in an eight-goal thriller
Napoli, meanwhile, got the better of Lecce as Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s late goal kept the winning streak alive and the club on course for a return to the title chase this term.
It should come as no surprise that Conte’s Napoli makeover has been founded first and foremost on a rigid defense, with Napoli conceding just once in its last 700 minutes or so of play.
Milan has won each of its last two home tests against this particular opponent and Fonseca will find cracking the Napoli code difficult as he looks to beat Conte for the first time in his career.
