AC Milan will welcome reigning Serie A champions Napoli to the San Siro on Sunday evening in a high-stakes encounter that could significantly impact the early-season title race.
The match headlines Round 5 of the 2025–26 Serie A campaign, with both clubs looking to assert their credentials in what is shaping up to be a tightly contested season.
All eyes will be on Massimiliano Allegri, newly appointed as Milan head coach, seeks a statement victory against Antonio Conte, who guided Napoli to the Scudetto last season.
Allegri is tasked with restoring Milan’s domestic dominance, and Sunday’s clash presents an opportunity to close the gap on Napoli, who currently top the table with four wins from four matches.
Milan enter the match with nine points from four games, having won three and lost one. They have scored seven goals and conceded just two, demonstrating defensive solidity and attacking efficiency.
The Rossoneri will hope to make full use of home advantage to hand Napoli their first defeat of the campaign and reignite their own push for the top spot.
Napoli, meanwhile, have enjoyed a flawless start under Conte’s guidance. They sit atop the Serie A standings with 12 points, nine goals scored, and only three conceded, the best record across Europe’s top five leagues so far this season.
Sunday’s fixture will also serve as Napoli’s final domestic test before their midweek Champions League group stage match against Sporting CP.
