The Serie A is no doubt one of the most competitive league in the world. This can be seen in the intense battle teams have to face every year. In recent years though, Juventus have raced ahead of everyone leaving their rivals to feed on scraps. However, things are starting to change once again. Also raging in the league is the battle to stay afloat no matter what happens. This battle has seen many teams defy the odds in tough fixtures and come out victorious. So when Ac Milan welcome Empoli to the San Siro, there would be mutual respect between both sides as anything can happen.
AC Milan
AC Milan is a team which has gone through a lot of rebuilding in the last years. Truth be told, they are a shadow of the force they once were in the past and it would take some time to get back to that level. The first thing on their aims would no doubt be to return to the champions league and they are currently on their way to achieving that. They are currently 4th in the league has managed to amass 42 points. Roma is close on their heels with 41 points. A loss to Empoli could see then drop out of the champions league places if Roma should win their game. This, this match remains a must-win for AC Milan.
Empoli
Empoli is a team who would be desperate to survive in the league. They are currently just above the relegation places in the league and could go down if they incur further losses. They are currently 17th in the league. They have managed to amass 21 points from the matches played so far. Bologna sits just below them in the relegation place with a gap of 3 points. A win today would cement their place in the league while a loss today could further draw them into the relegation battle. However, they would be wary of AC Milan who has all the confidence in the world as they play at the San Siro.
Form
When it comes to form, AC Milan has not lost a game in their last six matches. They have managed to win four of those games and two draws. They are simply flying in the leagueat the moment and would want to maintain their form down to the end of the season.
However, Empoli cannot boast of the same superb form going into the game. Empoli has won just one match out of their last six games. Prior to the win last time out, they had not won a game in their last five matches. Those matches have ended in three losses and two draws. They would no doubt be aware of the fact that they would have to dog in really hard to ensure that they come away with something in this game.
When this game kicks off, it would boil down to who wants it more at the end of the day.
