Empoli
Empoli went to winning ways in their last fixture returning from Bologna with a 1-0 win. That was the Blues’ first win of the season after four draws and two defeats. With that, Empoli are currently at 14th place with seven points and have picked up two points fewer than they did last season at this stage. Also, that was Empoli’s second clean sheet of the season.
Playing at home, however, has not served Empoli well this term as they drew two and lost one of their three games at the Carlo Castellani. Coach Paolo Zanetti’s team has not beaten Milan in four games and the best they managed in the last five meetings at home were two draws. Still, Empoli scored at least a goal in their last five games in Serie A.
Milan
Milan are trying hard to maintain their form of last season when they ended up winning the Scudetto but they are slightly off the pace. To point out, the Rossoneri have picked up five points fewer than they did the last term after seven rounds and that is mainly due to the fact that they scored less and conceded more this season.
In their last game, Milan suffered their first defeat of the season to one of their challengers for the title, Napoli. Since the start of the season, Stefano Pioli’s team has scored 1.00 goals on average per game while playing on the road where they have not lost in their previous three trips winning one and drawing two.
Milan will go for the three points if they want to stay close with the leaders. The gap is now just three points with Napoli and Atalanta and win here is crucial to break into the top three. The Rossoneri are the overwhelming favorites to return with a victory and we will back that outcome.
In all of their last five h2h meetings in Empoli, there were goals from both teams. Moreover, Empoli’s 67% of their home games and Milan’s 67% of their away games ended with both teams scoring. With odds of 1.89 ay 22Bet, we will back both teams to score in this match.
Oliver Giroud has found the path to the goal in recent matches. The French international scored in the last three matches in Serie A rating his tally to four goals in seven games. On the other side, Filippo Bandinelli is doing a great job for Empoli. The attacking midfielder was on the scoresheet in Empoli’s previous two games.
