On Thursday night, Empoli host AC Milan in Serie A, as the visitors look to kick-start their league campaign.
Empoli made a winning start to their Italian top-flight campaign, but have failed to win in their last four league outings and suffered three defeats in the process. The home side suffered a 3-1 defeat at Sassuolo last time out in Serie A.
The home side have scored just twice in their last four league outings in the Italian top-flight.
Empoli have an inconsistent recent home record in Serie A, winning two, losing two and drawing one of their last five outings on home soil. However, a record of just two home wins in their last ten outings in Serie A is a poor one.
Empoli’s recent home game in the Italian top-flight have been low scoring of late, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight outings, including their last three home matches.
Milan have made an inconsistent start to their Serie A campaign this season after high expectations in preseason, winning two, drawing two and losing one of their first five league games. Last time out the Rossoneri drew 2-2 with Atalanta.
The Atalanta game was the eight consecutive Milan game in Serie A that has seen both teams score. One of the big factors in the above stat is that Milan have scored two or more in six of their last eight league matches.
The visitors have struggled for victories on their travels of late in Serie A, winning just one of their last six away outings. Both teams have scored in their last six away games in the top-flight.
Forebet predicts Milan will record a narrow win in a high scoring game to kick-start their Serie A campaign.
