Milan will welcome Napoli for a top 4 clash at Guiseppe Meazza on Saturday. The hosts returned to top 4, thanks to their away win last week against Genoa, but they cannot slow down, as the next 7 teams are inside 7 points and are all fighting for the last Champions League spot in the standings. Napoli are second, 9 points adrift of 7 times in a row champions Juventus. Last time out they prevailed 2:1 over Lazio at home. A lot have been said of Milan’s transfer activities lately, but still no official conformation as they are still negotiating with Genoa for Polish sensation Krzysztof Piatek with Gonzalo Higuain expected to leave for Chelsea.
