Empoli

LDLLDL ⚠

Empoli won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 4-1 Serie A loss in their previous game against Juventus.

In that game, Empoli had 44% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Empoli was Mattia De Sciglio (4'). Juventus had 23 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Randal Kolo Muani (61', 64'), Dušan Vlahović (90') and Francisco Conceição (92') scored for Juventus.

Empoli have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 games.

They’ve managed to rack up 6 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 14. We will just have to see if that trend will be sustained into this next match.

Their prior results show that Empoli:

• have not registered a win against AC Milan in their last 9 matches in the league.
• are without a win at home for the past 5 league games. Things will have to change soon.

ℹ️ Team News: Empoli

Nicolas Haas (Cruciate ligament injury), Mattia Viti (Stress reaction of the bone), Tyronne Ebuehi (Cruciate ligament tear), Ola Solbakken (Shoulder injury), Saba Sazonov (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Pietro Pellegri (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Empoli boss Roberto D'Aversa.

We think that Azzurri should make use of the 3-4-2-1 formation for the game, handing starts to Devis Vásquez, Saba Goglichidze, Luca Marianucci, Mattia De Sciglio, E. Quartsin Gyasi, Liam Henderson, Liberato Cacace, Giuseppe Pezzella, Sebastiano Esposito, Alberto Grassi and Lorenzo Colombo.

🗞️ Team News: AC Milan

AC Milan manager Sérgio Conceição has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Warren Bondo (unknown injury), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (muscular problems), Emerson Royal (Calf injury) and Alessandro Florenzi (Cruciate ligament injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that i Rossoneri appear most likely to play in a 4-3-3 system with a starting lineup of Mike Maignan, Kyle Walker, Fikayo Tomori, Strahinja Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez, Yunus Musah, Tijjani Reijnders, Youssouf Fofana, Christian Pulisic, Santiago Giménez and Rafael Leão.

⚡ Prediction

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.

A close call.
