Last time out Empoli inflicted an embarrassing 4-1 away defeat on Juventus. Massimiliano Allegri will expect an immediate reaction from his players in this match.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Empoli, who had 14 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

Allegri will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Allianz Stadium.  

They have had an excellent run of form at Allianz Stadium recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.

In their last match AC Milan enforced their superiority over Sampdoria with a 5-1 home win.  In that game they had 62% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Sampdoria who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.  

It seems pretty certain that Stefano Pioli will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.  

Goalscorer Rafael Leão will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for AC Milan.
