With AS Roma and Atalanta in hot pursuit, AC Milan know too well they cannot afford slip ups; they have done their job well in the last six matches, securing four wins and as many clean sheets and they will be hoping for no upsets when they get to host the lowly Empoli who only picked their second win in nine matches when they saw off Sassuolo in their last match. In the last 21 matches, Empoli have managed just one clean sheet and they face a side that has scored thrice in each of the last two matches while AC Milan have also kept straight clean sheets in the last three home matches. Milan have three wins in their last four home matches and they have nine wins in 15 home matches in Serie A, which places them as favorites here, taking on a side winless in the last 13 Serie A away matches. Each side has scored in the last eight meetings between these two sides, with Milan winning three, while four have ended in draws and Empoli have one win. Head to head, the two sides have met 21 times and Milan have 11 wins and Empoli three.
