Each of AC Milan’s next five matches in Serie A will be against bottom half sides and they have a real chance of showing their title credentials. The first of them is a home match against Empoli, a game from which they can keep their place at the summit of the league standings. Milan go into this game top of the Serie A table with 60 points, 28 ahead of Empoli who are 13th. Milan beat Napoli 1-0 in their last game, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches, having won four of them. The clean sheets picked in that game was their fifth in eight games and they can look at their defensive performances with some confidence now. Milan suffered a shock 2-1 loss to struggling Spezia in January and they have put in a good shift. That loss remains their only defeat in the last 13 matches and in their earlier meeting with Empoli, they won 4-2.

This fixture rarely favors Empoli; they have one win in the last 10 meetings with Milan, and they’ve lost five. Heading into it without a win in the last 12 matches makes it even worse, and three times in the last five matches, they’ve failed to score. Empoli aren’t just weak in attack; they’ve also conceded two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches. It will be tough for them against an AC Milan side going for the Serie A title. In their last game, they played to a 0-0 draw with relegation-threatened Genoa for their first clean sheet in four matches. Away from home in Serie A, Empoli have failed to score in their last three matches and are without a win in the last six. Their last 10 away matches in Serie A have produced just two wins.
