AC Milan and Napoli have both enjoyed similarly successful starts to the new season and if you think it will be impossible to separate them on Sunday then a draw can be backed at 11/5 with BOYLE Sports.
The two Italian giants are handily placed in the top three of the Serie A table, with champions Napoli two points ahead of Juventus and three clear of a Milan side looking to improve on a disappointing eighth-placed last season.
Both teams have scored in all of their league games so far but Milan have also kept five clean sheets in six matches in all competitions so we’re not expecting a deluge of goals at San Siro, and you can get 15/2 for a 0-0 stalemate or 10/3 for both teams to score and the match to finish in a draw.

Milan are enjoying a fine start under the returning Massimiliano Allegri - back in the hotseat 11 years after leaving the club - with the Rossoneri winning five of their six league and cup games while conceding only twice.
Like Napoli, they too have suffered one loss, a surprise 2-1 defeat at home to Cremonese in their Serie A opener, but have gone from strength to strength since with their last two results being 3-0 wins.
However, this weekend’s visit of the champions is the start of a testing-looking run of fixtures for Milan that sees them face Juventus, Fiorentina, Atalanta, Roma, Parma, Inter Milan and Lazio in seven of their next eight Serie A games, so the real test for Allegri’s second coming starts now.

Antonio Conte’s men have also enjoyed a flying start to their title defence with four successive wins, albeit against opponents they would be expected to beat more often than not - Sassuolo, Cagliari, Fiorentina and Pisa.
Their only setback so far came in their Champions League opener against Manchester City, when they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the Etihad Stadium after having Giovanni Di Lorenzo sent off in the 21st minute.
Kevin de Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund both netted on their Napoli debuts after leaving Manchester over the summer and they will carry much of their side’s attacking threat with Romelu Lukaku out of action.

Napoli did the double over Milan last season en route to the title, but the scorers of three of their four goals in those two victories - Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - will not be involved this weekend so they will need to look elsewhere for a cutting edge.
Hojlund can be backed at 13/2 to be first goalscorer while his former Manchester United team-mate Scott McTominay is 15/2 and De Bruyne 10/1. Billy Gilmour put Napoli ahead in Monday’s 3-2 win over Pisa - the first goal of the 24-year-old’s club career - and he is 40/1 to repeat the feat by netting the opener this weekend.
For Milan, last season’s top scorer Christian Pulisic is already up and running with five goals this term, but only once has he opened the scoring so a more prudent bet might be for him to score at any time in the match at 5/2.
As for the overall result, prior to last season Napoli had not beaten Milan in five matches stretching back to 2022 and we think the spoils could be shared this weekend.
