AC Milan will have their sights set on getting back to winning ways in Serie A on Saturday when they host Empoli at San Siro.
The Rossoneri come into this round having played out draws in each of their last two. But, it could still be worth noting that Milan have suffered just one defeat across their last five.
Empoli have also been held to ties in consecutive matches before this showdown, picking up five points from a possible nine. Like Milan, the mid-table Italian side has also lost just once in their last five.
However, Empoli will likely be the considerable outsiders for this trip to the San Siro.
Odds
A home win for the Rossoneri will be expected in Serie A on Saturday, with Milan priced up at -280 on the moneyline. Empoli will be a massive outside selection at +825.

AC Milan vs. Empoli Prediction
It hasn’t been the start to the season that Milan would have been hoping for, and their attacking threat in their last two matches at San Siro hasn’t been good enough.
However, they bounced back to form in the Champions League in midweek, and their overall record against Empoli makes them tricky to oppose on Saturday.
