The Rossoneri have scored in each of the last seven editions of this fixture, already a record for the number of away matches in a row with a goal for AC Milan against Napoli in Serie A.

FIXTURE REOCCURENCE
It is not since the 1989/90 season that Napoli and AC Milan - also ready to do battle in the Champions League - have faced each other at least four times in the same season: in that season Napoli won the first league match, then a draw and two Rossoneri victories in Serie A and the Coppa Italia. In that season, AC Milan won the Champions League and Napoli won the Scudetto.

A match between the teams with the highest number of clear-cut goal-scoring chances: Napoli (75) and AC Milan (73). Only the Azzurri (14) have scored more goals than the Rossoneri (11) in the final quarter-hour of Serie A matches. Facing each other is the side that has scored the most headed goals in the top five European leagues 2022/23 (Napoli, 15) and the side that has conceded the most in the league (AC Milan, 10). Napoli is the team that has scored the most goals from crosses (17), while AC Milan have conceded the most (12).

SHINING STARS
Giroud impressed against Napoli both last season (at the Maradona) and this season (at San Siro), and could become the first AC Milan man to score in three matches in a row against the Partenopei in the three-point-a-win era (since 1994/95). Hernández has been involved in three goals against Napoli in the league (one goal and two assists), only against Parma and Venezia (four) has he been involved more. Kvaratshkelia is the first player with at least ten goals and ten assists in his first season in Europe's top five leagues since Diego in 2006/07 (13 goals and 13 assists with Werder Bremen).
