The thrills of the UEFA Champions League return this week as the eight teams left alive go head-to-head for a place in the semi-finals in a two-legged quarterfinal series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undoubtedly, each series has an extra ingredient that makes them truly special. However, some are much more interesting than others because of what they represent and the rivalries between the teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One will be between Milan and Napoli, two of the best teams in Serie A in recent seasons. In addition, as the Brackets were drawn, if Inter beats Benfica, we will have an all-Italian semifinal in this edition of the Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milan knows what it’s like to beat Napoli recently, as they crushed them as visitors with a 4-0 score,<\/strong> so they come with a lot of confidence for this match. On the other hand, Napoli does not want history to repeat itself and will go for victory at any cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wednesday, April 12 at 03:00 PM ET at the San Siro Stadium<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Napoli +155 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Milan +187<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw Offs: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n +234<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where Can I Stream? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n ESPN Play<\/a> and NBC Sports App<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n AC Milan is having what would be a second good season in a row. Not only are they fighting for a top-four finish in Serie A, but they have also made it to the Champions League quarterfinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the team is not star-studded like many others, the performance and teamwork demonstrated have been fundamental to Rossoneri’s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Milan needs to raise a similar or better game to the one where they beat Napoli 4-0 two weeks ago.<\/strong> In addition, there is the fact that they will be playing at home, which could give them some additional advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Milan is coming off a completely unexpected draw last Friday against Empoli with a 0-0 scoreline. Results like this have been the main problem for Il Diavolo in the Post-World Cup stage of the season. Draws and losses against rivals less capable (on paper) have been regular.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The aforementioned result against the leader could be deemed as an isle in the desert for a team that failed to win all the other matches in its last five and had not scored more than 2 goals in a game since last year. <\/strong>Whatever the case, that result came at the best time and they have to take advantage of a stumbling Napoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy Bet on Milan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
