The Napoli vs Milan match which will be held at home to Napoli will certainly be quite an important match. because the results of this match will also be a benchmark for the strength of the two teams for the next match of these two teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But it looks like Napoli will indeed be more in control in this fight. because Milan's current condition has indeed experienced a slight decline which is quite obvious.
It won't be a good benchmark because Napoli don't have big task like AC Milan. Napoli can lose the match and don't feel stressful but with AC Milan, if they lose it, their position in top four can be taken over by other clubs. AC Milan have more pressure in this match.
Napoli does not have style of differentiate between important and unimportant matches but when season comes to ending time, they might change their approach. Especially with very big gap they have in Serie A, they don't have reasons to play seriously and end it with one or two injuries on key players like Osimhen or Kravatskhelia.
Milan is in a dangerous position. The series of bad results he got made his chances of surviving in the champions league zone very threatened.
They still have good chance to get in top four but their recent matches are very alarming for their chance that is damaged by recent results. At least they are holding the fourth position but there are three clubs under AC Milan that want to take over that position, AS Roma, Atalanta and even Juventus.
With 1 point more than AS Roma, 3 points more than Atalanta and 7 points more than Juventus, AC Milan are not safe at that position.
Yes, AC Milan's performance is currently not in a positive trend, even losing in the last game against the Udinese team, which indicates that AC Milan has not yet woken up from its nightmare
They luckily hold that position because a direct and nearest competitor AS Roma had worse form recent weeks. However, they must improve if not want to see those clubs take it from their hands. Differences are slim and AC Milan must hold a fourth position at least to continue their club rebuilding progress which got great success last season but seems to be broken in this season.
