Napoli vs. AC Milan live stream: Watch Serie A online

Napoli face AC Milan at Stadio San Paolo on August 25. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

The young Serie A season in Italy kicks off its second matchday with several marquee matchups. One particularly intriguing showdown will take place on Saturday, as Napoli hosts AC Milan at Stadio San Paolo.

For AC Milan, this is their first match of the season. It is the first opportunity to see Gonzalo Higuain wearing the red and black after his transfer on loan from Juventus at the beginning of August. He will likely take over in the middle of the forward line, and it will be interesting to see how Gennaro Gattuso opts to maneuver around all of his talent. Especially critical to watch is how Higuain’s arrival impacts the development of 20-year-old striker Patrick Cutrone.

Napoli, on the other hand, has the benefit of already playing one match in Serie A. Last year’s Serie A runner-up opened the new season with a 2-1 conquest of Lazio in the first match for new manager Carlo Ancelotti. After Maurizio Sarri was signed away by Chelsea during the offseason, Napoli turned to the former AC Milan manager to fill the vacant spot on the touchline.

Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik scored the first for Napoli in first-half stoppage time, leveling the match right before the intermission after Ciro Immobile put Lazio ahead in the 25th minute. After the break, Lorenzo Insignie earned the visitors to Rome a full three points to start the new campaign.

AC Milan hasn’t defeated Napoli since December 2014, a span of time where the rossoneri have lost five and drawn twice. Winning in the San Paolo won’t be easy, especially as the visitors will be taking their first touches in Serie A play this year.

The Serie A match between Napoli and AC Milan will be broadcast live online. Live streaming is available through ESPN+, which you can access via subscription.

This match features some intrigue. Ancelotti, Napoli’s new boss, will face the club where he won two Champions League trophies as a coach and another two at the end of his playing career in 1989 and 1990. He will square off against one of his former players, Gennaro Gattuso, with whom he won the Champions League. Higuain, similarly, will take on the club where he went after Ancelotti took over at Real Madrid in 2013.

Higuain is due to rebound after failing to score a single goal at the 2018 World Cup. Look for him to score against his old club, but Ancelotti will get the last laugh as Napoli takes all three points at home in a one-goal victory.
