Empoli vs AC Milan Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 06/01/2024, 22:12  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

AC Milan will look to continue their recent form and stay in the top-three hunt as they restart their Serie A duties with a trip to Empoli. This matchday 19 will be played at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 19th with 13 points while the visitors are 3rd with 36 points. Empoli start this round only a point above the basement club Salernitana. Yet, with only a point separating the last four teams in the league going into the winter break, there’s so much to gain and lose over one weekend. They held Cagliari to a goalless draw before going into the break, which extended Empoli’s winless run to six matches – three draws and losses each. The record is worse at home where they lost seven of their ten league games this season.

Milan are only three points ahead of Fiorentina, but recent form has been improving for the visitors. They won four of their last five matches in all competitions, drawing the other. That included a 4-1 win over Cagliari in the Coppa Italia competition, to start their calendar year on a high. They would love to continue that form in Serie A, where they have been slightly up and down. Milan have won four and drawn one of their last six league games, with only a defeat to Atalanta blotting their record in that period.
