AC Milan must reap 3 points to be able to maintain the top 4 ranking ahead of this weekend’s Empoli counter duel. They met on the Serie A giornata 25 at the San Siro.
Sunday (17/2) then AC Milan arrived at Atalanta headquarters and surprisingly managed to win with a landslide score, 1-3. Krzysztof Piatek was again the hero of victory by donating 2 goals in the first minute and 61 minutes.
AC Milan are expected to return to playing effectively like yesterday even though they lost possession. Of course children are expected to appear more dominant in the game tomorrow because they play as hosts. After all, the Rossoneri managed to win cleanly, 2-0 and 3-0, in the previous 2 home games when entertaining Napoli in the Coppa Italia and Cagliari in giornata 23.
Last week was also a happy moment for Empoli who managed to pour 3 goals without reply to Sassuolo’s goal. The team also played very effectively even though it only controlled 33% of the ball, but it could create 5 shots right on goal.
However, it is still too early for Empoli to feel happy because they have never won 4 previous matches with 2 draws and 2 defeats. In addition, at this time they also landed right above the red zone so that the pressure has not completely faded.
It will be interesting to watch the 2 teams that appear so effective in their last match. 1-1 draw closed the duel at Empoli headquarters in the first game of the season, while AC Milan were last humiliated 1-2 times as host.
