"Making real history last season as they got their hands on a fourth Serie A crown, Napoli have their sights firmly set on defending their domestic title this time around. However, enduring a real Champions League struggle this year and falling to a downbeat 2-0 defeat away at Benfica, Antonio Conte's side have shown some recent issues over the past week. Failing to claim an immediate response over the weekend as they slumped to a 1-0 loss against Udinese,"
"Not featuring since the end of October and still dealing with a thigh injury, Napoli will once again be without summer recruit and former Manchester City superstar Kevin De Bruyne. Likewise, yet to make a single appearance so far this season, Romelu Lukaku remains on the sidelines. Despite notching just a pair of Serie A strikes since the start of October, Manchester United loanee Rasmus Hojlund will lead the line here."
AC Milan are the favored selection for the Italian Super Cup, with a double-chance market priced at 4/9 by Luckster. Napoli won a fourth Serie A title last season and aim to defend the crown. Napoli have struggled recently in Europe and domestically, losing 2-0 at Benfica and 1-0 to Udinese for consecutive defeats. Napoli have lost three of their last four away matches and seven of their previous nine fixtures outside Naples. Kevin De Bruyne remains sidelined with a thigh injury and Romelu Lukaku has not yet appeared this season. Rasmus Hojlund is expected to lead Napoli's attack while Scott McTominay will take a prominent midfield role. AC Milan settled for a 2-2 home draw against Sassuolo and have cemented a reputation as one of Italy's surprise packages.
