AC Milan prepare to welcome Serie A rivals to San Siro in the all-Italian Champions League quarter-final tie just weeks after a surprise thrashing of the league leaders. Despite a 22-point gap between the two sides, Milan surprised everyone at the Diego Maradona Stadium by thrashing the league leaders 4-0 and the bookies are expecting a tough one.
Bookies Betfred have placed the hosts as the slight-favourites in this tie at 8/5 with first-time quarter-finalists Napoli at 9/5 and a draw is 21/10. It is the first time the two sides have met in any European competition and the 10th time Milan have played in all-Italian matchups in Europe losing just once in that time.
Despite going into this match as Serie A champions, AC Milan are having a title-defending season to forget as they sit 22-points behind league leaders Napoli in fourth-place and just a point ahead of arch-rivals Inter picking up just one win in six matches in all competitions - which was away at Napoli. The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking for revenge after their surprise loss to the Rossoneri just over a week ago.
