Speaker: Welcome to the Italian football podcast. Just moving on to that then, the second leg coming up then, you feel like Milan are strong favourites, don't you?
Speaker: I think it's 60 -40. I just don't see how Milan go into this game. OK, that's not that strong. That's not that strong. Well, I think 60 -65, 60 -65 somewhere there. I think Milan are clear favourites. Yes, Napoli are at home. It does Osseman play. I think he will make a start. Now, how good he is is something else. But above all, without Anguissa and without Kim and Jay.
Speaker: I feel like the suspensions are massive, there's no doubt about that. Milan I feel have the counter attacking game that the game is set up perfectly for Milan's style of play with the counter attacking and pace of Liao. I feel like that is just that really just
Speaker: it plays into their hands. And I think psychologically, there's no doubt, as we again, we already discussed last week, psychologically Milan have the edge. They've got back to back wins in 10 days. They won 4 -0 after the last time they went to Naples and won the last three games in Naples psychologically. In terms of condition, I mean, I thought Milan would be in better condition in this game. I actually thought Napoli's condition actually looked quite good. So I guess we see what happens this weekend.
Speaker: If I'm Napoli, I rest the whole team this weekend against Verona. They've won the league. They're going to win the league. Just rest everyone. Rest all of them. Just play Kim Min -J and Anguisa because they're suspended and everybody else rest all the other players. But for me, if Napoli wants to go through in this tie, Osseman has to be back and he has to be fit. Not just back, but
Speaker: hobbling around. I feel like if Osseman doesn't play or he isn't anywhere close to fitness, I can't see Napoli going through. I think Milan go through. I don't see Napoli go through regardless.
Speaker: Well, you know what? Arigosaki said he sees it as 50 -50. I see it as 50 -50 if Osseman is back and he's fit. If Osseman doesn't play, I would even go as high as 70 -30 to Milan because I just don't see the same pattern again that we've seen in the last two games with Milan.
Speaker: you know, comfortably, you know, the no cutting edge for Napoli, Milan comfortably defending them and then just killing them on the counter. That's what I see. And then Napoli getting more and more desperate and pushing more men forward in the second half. And then that even opens them up even more to it to a counter. So I think it's all on Aussieman. It's all it's all on Aussieman. I mean, Spelletti says 100 % he will be available. That's what he said. But
Speaker: We'll see. He doesn't mean he's 100 % fit. He said he's 100 % available. That is going to be huge. That is going to be absolutely huge.
