Milan is welcoming Empoli to San Siro in round 2 of the Italian Serie a. Milan has finally been able to win when his contestants haven’t, and thanks to that they are at the top of the table. Empoli is outside the relegation zone, but overall, they are not a good team, and they haven’t won any of their last 5 games.

Milan is now undefeated in their last 8 games, but they have 4 draws during that streak. In their last game, Milan was playing against Napoli on the road, who are their competitors for the title b the way, and they were able to win that game 0-1. With that win, Milan has climbed to the top of the table with 60 points, which is 2 points more than Inter, and 3 points more than Napoli. Offensively, Milan is one of the best teams in the league with 54 scored goals, but their defense needs work because they have conceded 29 goals. Milan is playing only in Serie A and Coppa Italia but Inter and Napoli are both knocked out from Europe as well, and I think the title race is about to get even more interest in Serie A. the injury list is getting smaller for Milan, and they will certainly need every player available to win the title.

Empoli is somehow outside the relegation zone, but they are without a win in their last 12 games. With 32 points, Empoli is now in 13th place, and that will be enough for them to stay in the league next season well. When it comes to scoring goals, Empoli has been surprisingly good this season with 40 scored goals, but their defense is among the worst in the league with 53 conceded goals. Haas, and Marchizza are the only two injured players for Empoli as of right now. Pinamonti is the leading goalscorer for Empoli with 9 goals, while Bajrami has added 6 goals. After this game, the schedule is getting a bit easier for Empoli, and they might get back on the winning track, but I think they will need to wait a couple of weeks more for that to happen. Overall, I think Empoli is happy with their season, and how could they not be.

Milan now has to keep winning games to stay ahead, and I think they will win this one. Empoli is a decent team, especially in the attacking end, but their defense can’t contain Milan, and they will lose in this game because of that.
