AC Milan and Empoli clash in Serie A, both teams seeking crucial points for their campaigns.
Milan recently had a goalless draw against Juventus. They showed strong defense but are eager to score again after two matches without a goal. In the Champions League, they won against Slovan Bratislava, proving they can compete well. Coach Fonseca aims to improve their league standing, especially with the home advantage.
Coach Fonseca mentioned in a press conference that the game against Empoli will be tough. He noted that Empoli plays aggressively and does not hold back. He emphasized the need for a strong performance, focusing on being solid defensively while attacking confidently.
Empoli has had a good season so far. They come into this match after a 1-1 draw with Udinese. Coach D’Aversa’s team has shown good defense but wants to improve their scoring. They are currently on a three-game unbeaten streak, including a win over Como.
D’Aversa expressed the need for his team to leave San Siro with a positive result. He acknowledged that AC Milan is a strong team but urged his players to be brave and focused during the match.
In their recent matches, AC Milan has won six out of their last seven games against Empoli. They have kept clean sheets in five of those matches. However, they have struggled to score from outside the box this season, which is a concern.
Empoli has also been cautious, taking fewer shots from outside the box compared to other teams. They have managed to score two goals from long-range shots in their last two matches.
The match will be broadcast live on DAZN in Italy. Fans can also follow the game on various platforms, including Milan TV and the official AC Milan app.
The referee for the match will be Federico Dionisi, with his assistants Dario Garzelli and Daisuke Emanuele Yoshikawa. The matchday started with Cagliari winning against Hellas Verona, and several other matches are scheduled for the weekend.
As the league progresses, both teams are looking to secure important points to improve their standings. The current table shows Napoli leading, with AC Milan sitting in a mid-table position, eager to climb higher.
