Empoli vs AC Milan – When they lost 1-2 to Napoli at home in the Matchday derby two weeks ago, AC Milan suffered their first loss of the year. The away game against Empoli is set for Saturday night at Stadio Carlo Castellani, and they will be hoping to bounce back after the break for the international break.
By defeating Bologna 0-1 on the road two weeks ago, Empoli ended their own losing streak and earned their first victory of the year. At Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, midfielder Filippo Brandinelli scored his second goal of the year to defeat Bologna, who were in fine form.
As a result, Empoli moved up to position 14 on the league standings. Nevertheless, given that his club has produced a relatively meagre amount of offence thus far this season, head coach Paolo Zanetti may still be concerned.
In the first seven games of the 2022–23 Serie A season, Empoli only scored six goals. They are now facing one of the top defensive lines in the nation, so we are not overly excited about their prospects of winning.
If we include the Coppa Italia defeat to SPAL in August, Empoli’s home record this season consists of two draws and two defeats. Contrarily, AC Milan has a spotless away record, which includes a goalless draw against Salzburg in the UEFA Champions League.
Empoli vs AC Milan – Betting Analysis
Going into Sunday, AC Milan is coming off three straight victories over Empoli. AC Milan has never defeated Empoli at home. In the previous twelve trips to Stadio Carlo Castellani, Milan had won six games and tied six games.
In their last three victories versus Empoli, AC Milan scored eight goals. The calibre and head-to-head record of AC Milan make it difficult to wager against them in this situation. The current odds for the away victory are 1.55.
Since we anticipate AC Empoli to stay deep defensively and wait for their opportunities on counterattacks, which is essentially what they did against Bologna last time out, you can also attempt with the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 2.00 odds.
