Prediction: 1-0
Empoli
Milan will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Lazio when they take on Empoli in the Serie A round 28. The Rossoneri have a chance to overtake Juventus in second place in the standings and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Azzurri. Bear in mind, though, that both Rafael Leao and Alessandro Florenzi are banned for the match.
Empoli, meanwhile, are still sitting in the danger zone, only two points clear of the danger zone. Davide Nicola’s men are eager to secure yet another Serie A survival, but they should not be looking for points against Milan, who have turned their Stadio San Siro into a real fortress. Alberto Grassi and Francesco Caputo should be the only absentees in the visiting team. In the first half of the season Milan recorded a routine 3-0 win over Empoli at Stadio Carlos Castellani.
