Milan-Napoli, the probable formations

Milan-Napoli, the probable formations

After Inter’s victory in Lisbon, it’s the turn of Milan and Napoli, who will face off against each other in an all-Italian challenge, valid for the Champions League quarterfinals. It starts at the San Siro, with kickoff at 9 p.m. The Rossoneri, coming off a draw in the last league match, will want to repeat the extraordinary success against Napoli (4-0) ten days ago. On the contrary, the Azzurri, who resumed their path in the championship thanks to the victory against Lecce, will want to avenge that sound defeat.

Pioli recovers Kalulu although Kjaer will be in the center of the defense with Tomori. In midfield, Krunic next to Tonali with Bennacer raised on the trequartista line, completed by Brahim Diaz and Leao. Giroud will be the lone point.

Spalletti must do without Osimhen and cannot count on Simeone either: there will be Raspadori in the center of the attack with Lozano and Kvaratskhelia on his sides. In midfield, confirmation for Anguissa and Zielinski, on the outsides will act Di Lorenzo and Olivera, favored over Mario Rui.

Likely lineups.

MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo; Tonali, Krunic; Diaz, Bennacer, Leao; Giroud. All. Pioli.

NAPOLI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Kim, Rrahamani, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Raspadori, Kvaratshelia. All. Spalletti.
