AC Milan – Empoli : Preview & Prediction
AC Milan are back in the spotlight and it’s good for Italian football! Undefeated since mid-January and their home defeat to La Spezia, Milan went on to record an eighth game without defeat against Napoli at the weekend, allowing Stefano Piolo’s men to take the lead in the league with a two-point advantage over rivals Inter Milan (two games down). Frenchman Olivier Giroud, who has scored six times (five goals and one assist) in his side’s last 11 games, is in fine form and will be hoping to lead his side to victory against the 13th-placed Serie A side this Saturday evening. With a trio of 24-goal scorers (Leao, Ibrahimovic, Giroud), the Rossoneri are in danger of going all the way and will be aiming for a third straight win against their opponents to put the pressure on Inter.
As for Empoli, the club coached by Aurelio Andreazzoli will probably end the season in the bottom half of the table. However, Nedim Bajrami and his teammates will have to wake up if they don’t want to be scared in the last days of the season, because a series of eleven games without taking a single point is clearly not positive for the future. Worse still, out of nine games played in 2022, the Azzurri are conceding an average of two goals per game and that looks more like the pace of a team fighting for survival. The only way to avoid being in this situation is to create an upset by winning at the San Siro this Saturday 12 March!
AC Milan won the first leg 4-2.

AC Milan are heavy favourites to win this game and have no choice but to make their status count from the start. Two draws in three home games is not good enough for a team that dreams of winning the title. Victory or nothing, that’s the objective of the Milanese this Saturday! Another prediction is to score more than two goals in the match at 1.44
