AC Milan travel to face Napoli on Easter Monday, and one of the players keen on making a big impact is Rasmus Hojlund.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanPress), Hojlund is preparing for an important night. On Monday 6 April he will start for Antonio Conte’s side against Milan, a team he was strongly linked with in the summer. It is a match that will also say a lot about his personal moment.
Hojlund out for revenge
The Danish striker isn’t coming off a particularly brilliant run. Despite his consistency with Napoli, the disappointment of Denmark’s failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup weighs heavily. It is a double disappointment that only intensifies the desire for redemption.
What better occasion than against the Rossoneri? In the last match against Milan – the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final – Hojlund was undoubtedly the man of the match, dominating the game with his physical presence and incisiveness.
It is a precedent that fuels expectations ahead of Monday’s match. However, there’s a statistic that tells another side of the coin: Hojlund has never won against Milan in Serie A. Two previous meetings produced two defeats, both away: one during his time with Atalanta and then earlier this season.
Now, in front of his home crowd, the Dane has the perfect opportunity to change the narrative. Napoli-Milan isn’t just a six-pointer game match, but also a personal crossroads for a striker who wants to be decisive again when it matters most.
