Match Preview – 15.00 Kick-Off at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milano

Empoli are lucky not to be in relegation zone – they would have been going down in any other season. Despite winning at Fiorentina last week, their form has been disastrous all season. Empoli scored just eight goals in 16 away matches, and they will have significant problems finding the net at AC Milan, who are high-flying after the dramatic draw in the derby against Inter. AC Milan are 6th, having won four home matches in a row, and they are fighting for the Europa League qualification.

AC Milan vs Empoli Predictions

AC Milan are in good mood, and the positive home results add to self confidence. This is the first proper home fixture since the new Chinese owners bought the club from Silvio Berlusconi, and a convincing win should be expected to celebrate the affair. Empoli are probably the best possible rivals, and AC Milan are very likely to keep a clean sheet against the visitors. The odds are very good at 2.20. AC Milan should also be expected to win by two goals or more, and the odds are tempting at 1.90. AC Milan thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Empoli in November in the first round, winning 4-1, with Suso having a great game on the right wing.
