AC Milan will look to carry on their recent form and stay in the top-two race as they host Empoli. This Serie A match will be played at the San Siro Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are third in the standings with 56 points, while the visitors are 14th with 25 points. Milan are coming off a 4-2 win over Slavia Prague in the Europa League knockouts, getting breathing space ahead of next week’s second leg here. That made it two wins in a row for the side, which starts this round one point behind second-placed Juventus. League form suggests Milan are likely to fancy their chances of a win, as they have won seven of their last ten matches in the competition. The only defeat in this sequence has come against Monza, when they were defeated 4-2. The record at home is equally formidable, with Milan winning six of their last eight home league games.

Empoli are precariously placed, with only two points separating them from the bottom three. With a number of games scheduled this weekend between teams fighting to avoid the bottom three, an adverse result could see Empoli pulled into the relegation zone. They have been doing reasonably well under new coach Davide Nicola, losing just one of their last seven league matches. That defeat came in their most recent match, when they lost 1-0 to Cagliari. The traveling fans are likely to be pinning their hopes on an immediate turnaround, as Empoli have won their last two away league games. Both of those wins saw them score three goals each, so there should be enough entertainment on offer here.
