Why you should back Napoli
Defeating Napoli at home in the Champions League is a tall order as they’re unbeaten in their last 12 matches on their own pitch and have won all four this season. They have outscored their opponents 14-3 in those contests, netting at least three goals each time out. Nine of the 14 goals came from the trio of midfielder Piotr Zielinski and forwards Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Simeone, who recorded three apiece.
Those three players, along with forward Giacomo Raspadori, share the team lead with four goals during UCL play. Simeone is expected to miss Tuesday’s match with a thigh injury, but Osimhen should be back in the lineup after sitting out the first leg with a similar issue. The 24-year-old Osimhen, who came off the bench in Napoli’s 0-0 draw with Hellas Verona in Serie A action on Saturday, is the top scorer in the league with 21 goals in 24 contests.

Why you should back AC Milan
AC Milan’s defense has been nearly impenetrable lately, posting clean sheets in their last five Champions League matches while allowing just one goal over their past three Serie A contests. Offensively, AC Milan is led by French striker Olivier Giroud, who has tallied four times in the UCL. The 36-year-old is second on the club in Serie A with eight goals — two behind Portuguese forward Rafael Leao.
The 23-year-old Leao has converted just once in the Champions League but recorded a brace in Milan’s Serie A triumph over Napoli earlier this month. Belgian winger Alexis Saelemaekers is second on the club with two goals in the UCL, while midfielder Ismael Bennacer netted the lone goal against the Blues in the first leg. Spanish forward Brahim Diaz, who has registered five goals and four assists in Serie A play, produced the lone goal in Milan’s Round of 16 tie versus Tottenham. See who to back at SportsLine.
