Our Prediction for Empoli vs Milan
The "Azzurri" fought for survival last season, as usual. They secured safety by earning 36 points, narrowly edging out Frosinone to finish in 17th place. Meanwhile, Milan finished as runners-up, with only their city rivals Inter ahead of them.
Despite this, the Rossoneri still decided to part ways with Stefano Pioli. His successor, Paulo Fonseca, struggled to establish consistency, as impressive wins over Inter and Real Madrid were mixed with frequent, unexpected point losses. The arrival of Sérgio Conceição in January brought initial success with a Supercoppa Italiana victory, but setbacks followed under his management as well. The Milan Derby could have ended in a crucial win, but Inter salvaged a draw in stoppage time. At least in the Coppa Italia, Milan secured a convincing 3-1 victory over Roma.
Roberto D'Aversa and his Empoli squad had a promising start, but their unbeaten run ended in September. Since then, victories have been scarce, and from mid-December onward, even draws became a rarity. Their 1-4 defeat to Juventus further exposed their struggles.
Empoli currently averages just one goal per match while conceding more than 1.4 per game. Milan, on the other hand, scores an average of 1.5 goals per match in Serie A while conceding 1.1.
