Napoli are very ready to display what they have not displayed before since the beginning of this tournament, because their coach is not happy about what happened in their first leg that made AC Milan to defeated them 1-0. Now that Victor Osimhen and some potential strikers are starting the match, showed that Napoli will defeat AC Milan 3-1 because they will definitely use home advantage to silent the strength of AC Milan, because their coach has introduced some new skills that will help them to achieve goals that will give them victory at the end of the match. Real Madrid will still defeat Chelsea in this second leg, because Chelsea performance in their first leg showed that Chelsea are lacking so many skills in this season.
A top game, it's definitely going to be a total war zone for the home team. AC Milan do have quite number of quality players and they will not hold back if they sensed a goal scoring opportunities in the game. It's all about the side that will enforce more pressure. Napoli and AC Milan are top rivals both in the Seria A and UCL. Luciano Spalleti will grieve if he's kickout of the Champions league quarter finals against AC Milan. Victor Osimhen is a very important key frontline for the Parthenopeans and they will put in everything they have in the game.

Napoli lost Kim Min Jae and Anguissa. Although Osimhen can play, the front line is strong but the midfield and back line are fragile. On the other hand, AC Milan is on fire. In the second leg Giroud will be the most dangerous. The problem is, there is no Kim Min Jae to look after him later. Even if Amir Rrahmani is there, it's not certain that he can fight 1 on 1 alone. Man Giroud's most dangerous target skill, Giroud was successfully locked by the Napoli players to aim at him so that the Milan winger and his midfield could move freely looking for scoring opportunities.
Besides that, in the second leg, I think Ac Milan will balance attack and defense. No longer relying on counterattacks. In my opinion, the match between AC Milan and Napoli will be fierce, and what is certain is that Napoli will not beat Ac Milan easily. My prediction is that the game will end in a draw.
Osinhem confirmed will be played and Kim Min Jae and Anguissa will not in the starting lineup because of suspension so this is interesting how Spalletti will be overcomes this situations because these players is very important for Napoli and indeed with the return of Osimhen Napoli front lines will be so dangerous but if i am not mistaken Osimhen had poor records from AC Milan because in the last 2 meetings against this team Osimhen has failed to scores goalsBesides that, in the second leg, I think Ac Milan will balance attack and defense. No longer relying on counterattacks. In my opinion, the match between AC Milan and Napoli will be fierce, and what is certain is that Napoli will not beat Ac Milan easily. My prediction is that the game will end in a draw.
Milan will take this match very serious they even sacrificed the match against Bologna last week with rested some of their key players at that time and for today match i am sure Giroud, Leao and Brahima Diaz will be played since eary minutes so this match will be so tight and as a host Napoli is the favourite but considering good preparations from Milan and Napoli i think whoever the winner of this match probably will ended with slim scores
I think you are overestimating Milan capability to score goals,you have seen them leave apart Serie A in favor of the Champions League for this season but we saw the last game they played at home against Napoli in Champions and they had just one shot on target,the goal and nothing more,it was their goalkeeper who saved at least 4 sure goals from Napoli without Osimhen and as such I believe that Napoli will have no problems qualifying further in the Champions League.The odd of 1.67 I agree with the bookies is a normal one for Napoli in this case and I do not take into consideration that 0-4 lost game against Milan,it will never happen again.
Something similar was expected when Milan played Tottenham, but in the end Milan managed to play 0-0 away. Today, Milan will most likely want to play to keep the score, against Napoli this is not a good strategy, especially since Osimhen is back in the game. The most important thing is that the Napoli players cope with their nerves, since the first game was very nervous, Napoli can win today, but for this they need not to give vent to emotions.
The absence of Victor Osimhen in this Napoli team was the reason for the poor results in recent matches and now that he's back, he's surely gonna provide more attacking options for the Napoli's teams and improve their performances in their games to come.
Trailing by a goal to nil from the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against AC Milan, Napoli knows that they must win tomorrow's match by a two goal margin to progress and that I think they're capable of doing. AC Milan would not want to be eliminated as well and with the advantage they have already going into the match, it'll take an extraordinary performance from Napoli to eliminate them
I'm not even seeing osimhen as major factor here... I meannn, he can't Play alone in pitch, can he? So he still needs support as a striker..Trailing by a goal to nil from the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against AC Milan, Napoli knows that they must win tomorrow's match by a two goal margin to progress and that I think they're capable of doing. AC Milan would not want to be eliminated as well and with the advantage they have already going into the match, it'll take an extraordinary performance from Napoli to eliminate them
Now the problem is that Napoli haven't got a brilliant striker to fit in Osimhen's position perfectly... Without a good striker and a couple of good flankers too, how will they be able to get away with a goal so easily like when Osimhen plays in pitch with them??
Napoli will be playing against Milan tomorrow and ofcourse we'll expecting them to try Thier possible best to win on this.... mostly Since Milan isn't on fine form.

Osimhen became a very important figure for Naples. He is one of the best strikers currently active in world football. He's physically very strong, and he has the ability to score goals from a narrow angle. Such a striker has the potential to be an important player not only for Napoli but for all other teams.
That is good news for Napoli if Osimhen will play in this second leg match and can appear at full strength, it is undeniable that his role for Napoli is very big. Napoli can play well with lots of chances but several matches without Osimhen present have made it difficult for them to convert the chances they create into goals.
Luckily enough Napoli was only 1 goal behind in the first leg, and they had to attack from the start so they could score at least 2-3 goals so they didn't need extra time or reach a penalty shootout because Napoli had failed in a penalty shootout with Cremonese in a domestic tournament because penalty shootouts will be very difficult to predict so it's pretty sure both teams will try to make the match end at normal time.

I see it's like the moment for napoli to get downturn started since last month , they have losing so much monentum and losing 1-0 from tge first leg to ac milan who i believe they would do 100% defend and counter whuch also yeah they often do that.
They got destroyed as well by ac milan few weeks ago with such low possession and a quick counter that converted 4 goals nil!
I'm sure in the 2nd leg Napoli will turn things around and qualify for the next round I am not going to refer to some of their bad matches
I assume that Napoli prepared everything for this important match mainly they will be playing at home another advantage Milan might be confident because they have won their last 2 matches and Napoli can take advantage of this moment with a surprise at the start.

Real Madrid will still defeat Chelsea in this second leg, because Chelsea performance in their first leg showed that Chelsea are lacking so many skills in this season.
Napoli as we speak is not suffering from poor performance in the flank, their main problem is finishing. Several crosses are wasted, no good attacker to convert them to goals. when Osimhen was active in the team, every other attackers ( Mario Roy, Zedadka, Serbin) we're all good. this are players who can give a good support from the flank they all performed exceptionally well as at then, and now things seems so difficult for all of them, how then is Osimhen not a major factor affecting the club's performance?
Missing osimhen is a disaster for napoli. Elmas could not give same performance as osimhen. Spalletti is very happy to see osimhen is going back again for the clash against ac milan in the continuation of UCL. The strategy will be the same as before but elmas will be replaced by osimhen. Osimhen is always taking center forward as the right position for him. Anguissa must be replaced with another player.
Osimhen is the key for napoli to be qualified for the semi final. No osimhen no party. Pioli itself was analyzing all of old matches by napoli. The only problem is if ac milan was not able to winning the match if osimhen playes.
The result kinda different when napoli would be playing without osimhen. Acmilan knows how to reduce the attack from napoli.
Pioli is working hard right now to determine which will become the best strategy to be used against osimhen at this moment. Im thinking spalletti may do some changes to strengthen the squads.
I think the probability of winning Napoli I would say 90% and AC Milan only has a small chance.
but if Ac Milan is able to put in a good performance and a solid strategy, it might end in a draw. what is certain is the return of Osimhen, Ac Milan will not be able to beat Napoli.

I am not sure as AC Milan are so experienced in Champions League and they also won against Napoli in Naples two weeks ago in Serie A. They only need a draw in Naples at the second match and will be able to join semi finals.
Napoli will bet all with Osimhen return to beat AC Milan. The striker can combine with Kravatskhelia to bring more pressure to AC Milan defense system. I don't know will Osimhem be completely ready for the match and will be able to play with his best.
AC Milan only leading one goal, Napoli still have a big chance to make at least a draw or beat AC Milan for scoring 2 goals higher than them.Napoli will bet all with Osimhen return to beat AC Milan. The striker can combine with Kravatskhelia to bring more pressure to AC Milan defense system. I don't know will Osimhem be completely ready for the match and will be able to play with his best.
I believe Osimhen will show an outstanding performance because this is a Champions league and they have beat AC Milan for many times in Serie A.
Both of this clubs are really prepare in this match as we can see their previous matches in Serie A, they were not let their key players to play or just play for 10-30 minutes to keep their stamina.
I don't expect Chelsea to make a comeback honestly. The players skills and concentrations are limited from a long time this season and I doubt Lampard's effect could be seen that early.
In the other hand, Real Madrid are the king of comebacks at Champions League by far, how could they let Chelsea pass
In my opinion Napoli vs Milan will be more interesting to follow since Napoli could win that game and even pass to the next stage before playing penalties tho.
I think so with Chelsea has difficult possibilities for come back on second leg because still on underperformance, last games in Primer League Chelsea defeated by Brighton Albion and not matter with playing home. Real Madrid has opportunity continue winning trend for second leg and I sure more than 75% chance for Real Madrid will qualify to the next round.In the other hand, Real Madrid are the king of comebacks at Champions League by far, how could they let Chelsea pass

Chelsea still not in the winning trend last three matches, after losing from Real Madrid in Champion League they have loss from Wolves and last games Brighton Albion defeated Chelsea in domestic league. Crucial situation with Chelsea right now not only chance for qualifying to semifinal but also their position finish on top fourth standing in Primer League and get Champion League spot next season almost close.

Chelsea have poor performance from both defense and attacking systems which make them harder to have a comeback against Real Madrid. No positive signal of improvement with Lampard to support that they will be able to beat Real Madrid.Quote
In the other hand, Real Madrid are the king of comebacks at Champions League by far, how could they let Chelsea pass
It's the point which reduces chance for Chelsea to come back after losing with 2 goals in a first match at Bernabeu. Stamford Bridge won't be enough for them to beat Real Madrid. 
That's very sad to see Napoli can't have a good performance just because they don't have their Negirian Forward Osimhen and even the alternative players cannot have good performances as Osimhen does. Osimhen will be ready for the second leg as far as I know, but regardless of this game against Ac Milna Napoli should start thinking about alternative players for Osimhen.
It must be for the future plan. Just let osimhen focus on the second leg of UCL. Osimhen was the top scorer of napoli. That's a common thing if missing him is giving a very big impact. If spalletti already confimed osimhen will be playing in the second leg and im feeling so confidence waiting for a good result by osimhen for the second leg. It's likely that napoli will have a very big chance to win against ac milan if osimhen will able to fully play in upcoming match. Im so glad osimhen is coming back again after he has been injured. The performance of napoli declined so hard without him. It has already been confirmed that napoli will keep using the same strategy as before. Will osimhen become a nightmare for ac milan? I meant we must also take a look at how good osimhen is this season.
Ac milan may be in a very difficult situation. Osimhen can change everything in the club. The fact that if kvarat is also very happy osimhen is going back again after he has not been ably participating in the first leg.
Taking napoli is a must. Ac milan will be playing away. It seems like that ac milan will be leaving the UCL after upcoming match against napoli in second leg of UCL.

It is harder for Chelsea to make a comeback because the opponent is Real Madrid. They are so confident on themselves, very experienced and mentally strong to do some comebacks by themselves. Like in the past season, Chelsea with better form than what they have now, made a great comeback in a second leg at Bernabeu but then Real Madrid flipped the match and moved next.In the other hand, Real Madrid are the king of comebacks at Champions League by far, how could they let Chelsea pass
Chance for Chelsea in this season is very smaller than the past season as they are in much poorer form recently.
We know that Osimhen is a very important player for Napoli this season. They realized that without Osimhen their performance could not be satisfactory, but that was a disaster for Napoli because they only relied on one player to get maximum results.
Osimhen contributes like 50% of Napoli attacking power, a rest 30% belongs to Kravatskhelia and other players contribute a rest minority of their attacking power. The missing of Osimhen impacts their system a lot, less chances can be created and less goals can be scored. This also causes more pressure on their defense system when opponents can have more time to do their own attacks.The return of Osimhen for a second leg will be very important for Napoli and can be a decisive factor for who is winner between AC Milan and Napoli.
The absence of Victor Osimhen in this Napoli team was the reason for the poor results in recent matches and now that he's back, he's surely gonna provide more attacking options for the Napoli's teams and improve their performances in their games to come.
Trailing by a goal to nil from the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against AC Milan, Napoli knows that they must win tomorrow's match by a two goal margin to progress and that I think they're capable of doing. AC Milan would not want to be eliminated as well and with the advantage they have already going into the match, it'll take an extraordinary performance from Napoli to eliminate them
I'm not even seeing osimhen as major factor here... I meannn, he can't Play alone in pitch, can he? So he still needs support as a striker..Trailing by a goal to nil from the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter final tie against AC Milan, Napoli knows that they must win tomorrow's match by a two goal margin to progress and that I think they're capable of doing.

~~~
Napoli without the osimhen & Kvaratskhelia duo playing full time un the recent matches since 19 march were really bad downturn ... in the last 4 matches they are losing it two times draw once and win it for one time only after the whole season they are nearly become invincible .Osimhen absence really make a huge impact , this time he is ready to play 90 minutes in a crucial match against ac milan who leading 1 - 0 at the frist leg of UCL , i bet napoli will still fail.
Anyone can still qualify from this quarter-final stage, but perhaps what is less interesting is that we will again see two Serie A teams likely to batlle in the semi-finals. Inter is very likely to qualify, so one between Napoli and Milan will meet Inter in the semi-finals.
They got destroyed as well by ac milan few weeks ago with such low possession and a quick counter that converted 4 goals nil!
