AC Milan VS Empoli Preview & Prediction

Match preview

Empoli and Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan team square off in a crucial match on Friday at the San Siro as Serie A returns with another round of games this week.

Empoli, who are now sitting in 14th position in Serie A, have not played well this year. Last week, the away team narrowly defeated Lecce 1-0, so they will have to fight very hard to repeat that performance this time around.

On the other side, AC Milan, who now hold third place in the league table, has had a respectable year. The Rossoneri have everything to prove this week after shocking Napoli with a 4-0 victory in their previous match.

AC Milan VS Empoli prediction

With a great roster at their disposal, AC Millan recently defeated Napoli with one of their season’s most astounding performances. Rafael Leao, who has matured this year, will want to leave his mark on this event.

Empoli’s performance this year has been patchy, and they will be put to the test on Friday. On paper, AC Milan appears to be the superior team and ought to prevail in this match.
