Empoli, Recent FormA 0-0 draw and a point gained against Cagliari in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Empoli last time out. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 5 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Cagliari, who had 15 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and this season they have failed to score in 11 of their 18 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
AC Milan, Recent FormAC Milan enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 home win over Sassuolo last time out in the league. They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 20 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Sassuolo's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Their boss Stefano Pioli has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 16 of their 18 games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
