Napoli can beat AC Milan in Serie A clash: Jose Altafini
Former Italy international Jose Altafini insists that he will not be surprised if Napoli defeat AC Milan in the Monday night Serie A clash that could well decide the fate for the Naples side in the League.
Napoli are currently in third place with 52 points and are a point behind Inter Milan but have played a match less than the Milan side.
Jose Altafini, who has represented both AC Milan and Napoli in his playing career, said that it is very difficult to chose a winner from the clash and to get all three points will be crucial for either side as it could decide the Scudetto.
The Italian labelled AC Milan and Napoli as two of the best sides in the Serie A at the moment and believed any team could win it.
“The two best teams of the championship will lock horns and picking up the full three points is a must for either side. It's very hard to predict the final result,” Altafini said.
Altafini believed that a win for Rossoneri would certainly multiply their chances of winning the Scudetto as they will take a lead of five points over city rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan. But the Italian believed that Milan do not have easy fixtures ahead as they play
Juventus after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 in Turin.
“What a win would mean for each team? Milan would create a big gap over Napoli and would get a real confidence boost. Even though they don't have an easy schedule, it would still be a boost for their Scudetto chances,” Altafini added.
He added that a win for the Partenopei would not come as a shock for him as they are well capable of doing that. The Italian said that Napoli have been neck to neck with Milan all through the 2010-11 season and have proven to be one of the most consistent
sides in the League. He added that no other team has been able to perform as consistently as Napoli did in the entire campaign.
