If AC Milan had not messed up the start of the season, they would currently rank even better in the table. But so the Rossoneri take fourth place and must continue to fight for the qualification for the Champions League. Recently, however, Milan presented itself very stable: For seven matchdays, the team of coach Gennaro Gattuso is unbeaten and home four victories. Particularly valuable was the success on the final day at Atalanta Bergamo, an immediate competitor. The merit for the strong performances in the recent past is particularly due to the winter recruiting Krzysztof Piatek, who was brought in to replace the Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Pole fulfilled the expectations immediately: he has scored twice in the last four matches and even twice. Actually, he has used more or less on every mission for Milan, because he stood on his scoreless debut only 20 minutes on the court.

AC Milan vs Empoli Football Betting Tips

The Empoli F.C. is again significantly more consistent in its season as Milan, but unfortunately from the perspective of the fans at a low level: Since the start of the season, the climber has hardly left the table cellar and at the moment he ranks in 17th place. Only three points separates the guests from Tuscany from the first relegation zone and especially away from home, the champion of Serie B last season is very weak, as the meager record of 0-4-7 shows. With AC Milan against Empoli, the odds point perfectly right in the direction of a home win. However, the low level hardly contains value, so the prediction is that the currently offensive hosts will win at least two goals difference.

AC Milan – Statistics & Current Form

Gonzalo Higuain? A name that fans have almost forgotten after their six-month stint in Milan – the new hero is Krzysztof Piatek! The Polish striker joined the 18-time champions from Genoa CFC during the winter break and continues where he left off with the Genoese: the question is, of course, goal-scoring. The 23-year-old Knipser scored no fewer than six goals in his last four outings for his new employer. With this record, he has already scored as many goals as Higuain in his 15 appearances. Overall, he is also at 17 goals this season and is in the scorer rankings second place after Cristiano Ronaldo with 19 goals. Especially against the background that he completes his first season in Serie A, his yield is impressive.

Since Piatek is on board, the cut at goals in Milan at 2.33 in the league, if his debut is left outside, as he said here, as I said only briefly used. A value that is exactly one goal higher than the previous season. Piatek has undoubtedly brought the Milan offensive to life again. Since Milan is also no longer represented in the Europa League, but only in addition to the Coppa Italia, the club can also focus well on the league operation.

The three-time World Cup winner must continue to refrain in the coming match but still some players. Colombia’s Cristián Zapata in defense and Giacomo Bonaventura in midfield are not in the running. Most recently, the Rossoneri won twice in the league and in the cup to zero at home. However, the home defense is a bit weaker in the home crowd than away. So she has conceded at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium already conceded 12 goals in as many games and thus two more than in a foreign country. A clean sheet is the triple winner of the Champions League only succeeded in three of his twelve home games. AC Milan are against Empoli according to the odds, as expected, the clear favorite for the win.

Expected formation of AC Milan:
Donnarumma – Calabria – Musacchio – Romagna – Rodriguez – Paqueta – Bakayoko – Kessie – Suso – Piatek – Cutrone

Empoli – Statistics & Current Form

Coach Giuseppe Iachini has a slowly growing challenge every two weeks when he has to motivate his team again for a guest performance. So far, the climber has not yet won any of his meanwhile eleven games in foreign countries. An embarrassment that otherwise only Chievo Verona has. With only four points, the Azure Blues are even the weakest away team in Serie A. A little hope in this context can at most refer to the fact that two of the four draws reached in the last five games. However, the opposition with SPAL and Cagliari Calcio was significantly less strong compared to the upcoming counterparty.

So seven of the eleven away games were lost and often it is the defensive, which is mainly responsible. She has conceded 25 goals on foreign territory and thus has the second worst score after the Genoa CFC. But Empoli won at least once again last weekend. The 3-0 win against Sassuolo Calcio was the first three after eight previous rounds without a win, with no less than six games lost. A success, but also due to the weak form of the opponent, who apparently still in the middle of the processing of the recent departure of Kevin-Prince Boateng stuck.

Expected formation of Empoli:
Dragowski – Dell’Orco – Silvestre – Veseli – Pasqual – Krunic – Bennacer – Acquah – Di Lorenzo – Farias – Caputo
