AC Milan, Recent FormThe last league instalment for AC Milan produced a stunning 4-0 away win over Napoli. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Napoli who had 20 attempts and 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 16 games in a row. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Stefano Pioli will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have had a good run of form at Stadio San Siro recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Empoli, Recent FormEmpoli will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Lecce. They came away from that fixture with a 53% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Lecce, who managed 5 attempts on goal, 0 of which were on target.
Manager Paolo Zanetti will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, AC Milan produced a comfortable 1-3 victory.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Stadio San Siro, Azzurri have been unable to break through the Milan defence and find the back of the net. Milan will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 12 encounters with Azzurri.
Milan will be looking to continue their winning streak against Empoli having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
Milan manager Stefano Pioli has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Zlatan Ibrahimović (Muscle), Pierre Kalulu (Muscle) and Junior Messias (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Empoli manager Paolo Zanetti has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
