How Have Milan and Napoli Performed in Serie A This Season?

Milan 2025/26 Season Performance Metrics

Milan have been inconsistent in the second half of the 2025/26 Serie A season. While their home record remains solid — 9W-4D-2L at San Siro — their underlying metrics tell a more cautious story. Their xG conversion efficiency is running at 91.3% (slightly below league average), and their pressing intensity (PPDA metric) has dropped from 9.2 in the first 15 games to 11.7 in the last 10, indicating a more passive defensive block.

• 📌 League Position: 4th (64 pts, 30 games)
• 📌 Home xG For / Against: 1.71 / 1.44
• 📌 Last 5 Serie A Results: W-D-L-W-D
• 📌 Goals Scored Last 10: 14 (1.4 avg)
• 📌 Set Piece Goals Conceded: 7 of last 18 conceded — a critical weakness

Napoli 2025/26 Season Performance Metrics

Napoli's surge in the second half of the season has been one of the more analytically compelling stories in European football. Their high defensive line, compact 4-3-3 structure, and xG dominance in away games have been consistent across 28 of their 30 Serie A appearances. Under their current tactical setup, they are pressing opponents into deeper starting positions — their average turnover recovery zone has moved 6 meters further up the pitch compared to the same period last season.

• 📌 League Position: 2nd (71 pts, 30 games)
• 📌 Away xG For / Against: 1.82 / 1.11
• 📌 Last 5 Serie A Results: W-W-W-D-W
• 📌 Goals Scored Last 10: 22 (2.2 avg)
• 📌 Clean Sheets Away (Last 8): 4 — exceptional defensive solidity
