Napoli vs AC Milan

Tonight against Milan Romelu Lukaku scored his 400th goal between club and national team.

Napoli's two fastest home goals in the three points for a win era in Serie A have come in this season: McTominay against Como (0:26) and Matteo Politano against Milan (1:02).

Matteo Politano's was only the second goal scored in the first two minutes of play by Napoli against Milan in Serie A, after Piero Golin's goal in March 1955.

In the last 12 Serie A meetings between Napoli and AC Milan, both sides won four games (D4), after the Partenopei had been unbeaten in each of their previous eight matches against the Rossoneri in the competition, winning six in the period.

AC Milan are unbeaten in each of their last six away matches (W3 D3) against Napoli in all competitions and have they never gone seven successive games on the road without defeat against the Azzurri in their history.

Napoli (61) have 14 points more than AC Milan (47) in the table: only in three of the 153 previous matches between the two sides in Serie A history have the Azzurri faced the Rossoneri with a higher advantage (+15 on February 8th, 2014; +25 on April 15th, 2018 and +23 on April 2nd, 2023).

Only against Roma (nine) have Napoli lost more matches than against AC Milan (eight, as against Inter) after Italian national team games. Overall, Azzurri and Rossoneri have met 18 times after such games, with five wins for the Partenopei, five draws and eight wins for the Diavolo.

Since the start of February, Napoli are winless in six of their seven Serie A matches (D5 L1): one more than in their first 22 games in the current top-flight season (D2 L3). Furthermore, with only eight points earned since the start of the 23rd matchday, the Azzurri would be 13th in the table in this period.
