Team Analysis
Empoli won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 4-1 Serie A loss in their previous game against Juventus. In that game, Empoli had 44% possession and 10 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Empoli was Mattia De Sciglio (4'). Juventus had 23 shots on goal with 8 on target. Randal Kolo Muani (61', 64'), Dušan Vlahović (90') and Francisco Conceição (92') scored for Juventus.

It’s been seldom in recent times where Empoli have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Empoli have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, giving up 14 goals on the way.

AC Milan will go into this game following on from a 3-1 Coppa Italia win against Roma in their last fixture. In that match, AC Milan managed 51% possession and 13 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. For AC Milan, the goals were scored by Tammy Abraham (16', 42') and João Félix (72'). Roma had 19 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Artem Dovbyk (54') scored for Roma.

The stats don’t lie, and AC Milan have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 8 goals in total. At the back, AC Milan can certainly do much better. We shall soon find out whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.

Odds Analysis
We believe that Empoli will have to work hard as a team to score against this AC Milan lineup who we reckon should score & stay on top. We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 winning score for AC Milan when all is said and done.

Pick:  AC Milan
