AC Milan vs Napoli Match Preview
A decisive match for the title will be held this week, as AC Milan has finally managed to stand just one point below the top, and only the solitude of the top would give Rossoneri's fans an opportunity to forget the shameful elimination from the Champions League. Beckham's injury has been seen worldwide, and team's star will be sidelined at least for three months. Clarence Seedorf became a hero during the last minutes of last Sunday by giving his team an opportunity to reduce the gap Inter solidly established during the whole tournament. This week at the San Siro we might witness the rise of a titan, as they might finally reach the top after many months of an endless chase.
Napoli fans had to see their first defeat in the tournament last week against Fiorentina, and now their trip to Milan is worrying Walter Mazzarri and his players. Not even Ezequiel Lavezzi's successful return (having scored the first goal during last week's match) was enough for the Partenopei to get closer to the Champion League's qualifying line, which now stands five points away. The azzuri have been unable to score a victory in the last month and a half, and with only four of the last 21 possible points, even their participation in the Europa League will be jeopardized, especially if they return home without points from their trip to Milan.
