This will be a clash of the Italian titans, as the seven time European champions AC Milan host Napoli at San Siro for the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinals. This will be their first ever meeting in the Champions league; and coincidentally, it is Napoli's first ever appearance in the Quarterfinals stage. Napoli are currently at the top of the Serie A league standings, and have almost got the Scudetto wrapped up. Meanwhile, AC Milan are placed on the 4th position in the league table. This will be a closely fought match. But I expect Napoli to avoid defeat at the San Siro for the following reasons:

Firstly. Napoli have been in an exceptional form all season in both their domestic league and Champions league. They have put in some spectacular displays in the Champions league, and are the leading scorers in the Champions league on 25 goals so far. The skills of their talisman, Kvaratskhelia, have been the key to unlocking their opponent's defence. Having him in their squad tonight is a big plus. They have been in a good form recently, and have shown a more impressive form while playing away from home. They have won all their last six away games, including a 2-0 win recorded over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League last 16 match. So, playing away at San Siro will not offer AC Milan any sort of home advantage. AC Milan should be weary of that.

Secondly. AC Milan have not been at their best all season. This is partly due to the fact that they have a very thin squad. Stefano Pioli does not have quality options on the bench that he can call upon when he needs to add fresh legs to change the outcome of games. Their young talisman, Rafael Leao has failed to be consistent all season. He showed flashes of his brilliance in their victory over Napoli recently. But he has been too inconsistent to be counted on. Milan have undoubtedly proved to be a tough nut to crack in Europe, evidenced by their hard fought 0-0 draw recorded against Tottenham in the last 16 to emerge 1-0 winners on aggregate.

Napoli are a much better team, and should be winning AC Milan tonight. But due to the fact that Napoli will be missing some of their attacking options in Osimhen (their leading goal scorer) and Simeone, AC Milan may be able to shut them out. I expect a win or a draw for Napoli tonight.

这将是意大利豪门之间的一场较量，七届欧冠冠军AC米兰将在圣西罗主场迎战那不勒斯，进行欧冠四分之一决赛首回合比赛。这将是他们第一次在欧冠联赛中相遇;巧合的是，这是那不勒斯第一次出现在四分之一决赛阶段。那不勒斯目前在意甲联赛中排名第一，并且几乎已经包揽了意甲冠军。与此同时，AC米兰在积分榜上排名第四。这将是一场势均力敌的比赛。但我希望那不勒斯在圣西罗避免失败，原因如下:

首先。那不勒斯在整个赛季的国内联赛和欧冠联赛中都表现出色。他们在欧冠联赛中表现出色，目前已经打进25球，是欧冠联赛的领跑者。他们的护身符Kvaratskhelia的技能是打开对手防线的关键。今晚有他在队里是一个很大的加分项。他们最近状态很好，在客场比赛中表现得更令人印象深刻。他们在过去的6场客场比赛中都取得了全胜，其中包括在欧冠16强比赛中2-0战胜法兰克福。所以，在圣西罗的比赛不会给AC米兰带来任何主场优势。AC米兰应该对此感到厌倦。

其次。AC米兰整个赛季都没有处于最佳状态。这在一定程度上是由于他们的阵容非常薄弱。斯蒂法诺·皮奥利在替补席上没有高质量的选择，当他需要补充新的腿来改变比赛结果时，他可以调用。他们的年轻护身符拉斐尔·莱奥整个赛季都没有稳定的表现。他在最近战胜那不勒斯的比赛中展现了自己的才华。但他的表现太不稳定了，不能指望他。毫无疑问，米兰在欧洲赛场上是一块难啃的硬骨头，16强赛0-0战平热刺，总比分1-0获胜。

那不勒斯是一支更好的球队，今晚应该会赢AC米兰。但由于那不勒斯将失去他们的一些进攻选择，比如奥西蒙(他们的头号射手)和西蒙尼，AC米兰可能会将他们拒之门外。我希望今晚那不勒斯能赢或打平。
