The 2024-25 edition of Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Empoli take on an impressive AC Milan side in an important encounter at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Empoli vs AC Milan Preview
AC Milan are in eighth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Rossoneri eased past AS Roma by a 3-1 scoreline in the Coppa Italia in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Empoli, on the other hand, are in 16th place in the league table and have struggled so far this season. The home side slumped to a damaging 4-1 defeat at the hands of Juventus last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
