Team News

Empoli
AC Milan
  • Miha Zajc was sent off in the last game and will have to miss this one at home.
  • Rade Krunic will be the link between midfield and attack in his absence.
  • Gennaro Gattuso might finally field Mattia Caldara and Alessio Romagnoli together in the domestic league.
  • No changes are expected to the XI that started and did well against Atalanta.

Prediction

  • Empoli have obtained only one point in their last four games, thus losing the momentum they had gained with the victory in their season opener.
  • Milan have drawn twice in a row and once again could not keep their opponents from scoring as they let Atalanta come back into the game twice on Sunday.
  • The visitors are better equipped and have played some good football at times, but are struggling to find consistency. Empoli will need to exploit the moments in which Milan seem to lose focus.

  • Milan win by 1 goal difference. 0-1 1-2 or 2-3, no matter :)

  • 1X

  • Higuaín is probably not gonna play due to injury. Cutrone or eventually Borini will replace if he miss out.

  • Empoli to win

  • Don't like Gattuso and... it may seem shallow, but he's so clearly a Tracksuit Manager. Dress the part, my man! Ditch the ill-fitting suit, you always look like you just showered following a post-work Squash match anyway. Put on your trackies, whip up the team. That's your thing! Anyway, don't see Empoli scoring so think 2-0 to Milan without them playing well.

  • @dSquib does how a manager dress affecting the result? is this a Milan fashion week?

  • @ambrose yes
