3 of the last 5 games have been won by AC Milan, so it seems likely that they will add tomorrow. At San Siro it is something else because AC Milan has 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 5 games so Empoli has a great chance of winning.
For his part, Andrea Pinamonti, on loan to Empoli from Inter, has scored 23% of his goals in the league away from home, so he will carry the team on his shoulder.
Empoli are easily the top-ranked of the three promoted sides this season, but while they are comfortably clear of the relegation zone, that will change if their 11-match winless run in Serie A goes much longer. If one of the worst defenses in the league, conceding an average of 1.89 SA goals per game, can't improve either, they will soon be eyeing the relegation zone with considerable concern. If nothing else, Empoli fans will happily remember beating Milan here in 2007/08 and 2016/17, but with both campaigns ending in relegation, the team have only lost one of their last eight away league games by what is expected is that the "azzurri" present a good level for this match.
AC Milan can increase their two-point lead over Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A table when they take on mid-table Empoli on Saturday. Having played one more game than Inter, their quest for their first scudetto since the 2010/11 season seems to be well on their way, especially if they manage to extend their run of six games without losing in this game. Despite scoring more than two goals in just one of their last six league games at home, Milan remain a difficult team for the visitors at the San Siro, where they also recently beat Inter on the road.
