Empoli take on AC Milan in the Serie A fixture on Saturday. The hosts are yet to win at the Carlo Castellani Stadium this season. Do they have a chance against the reigning champion of Italy? Here's our prediction.

Command Analysis

Empoli

Empoli have had a decent season this far. After the first seven games, Paolo Zanetti's team is in 14th place in the standings, three points clear of the relegation zone. In the previous round of Serie A, Empoli recorded their first victory of the season - they collected three points at Bologna (1:0), thus ending a seven-game winless streak.

AC Milan

AC Milan didn't have a very successful start to their campaign. The reigning champions sit in 5th place in the table, three points behind the current leader Napoli. Inconsistency and too many injuries plague Stefano Pioli's side as they try to keep up with other title contenders. In the last round, the Rossoneri suffered their first defeat - they lost 1:2 to Napoli.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (+1) to Empoli

1.85

AC Milan lost 1:2 to Napoli on the last matchday, thus dropping to 5th in the table. Despite the fact that Empoli is a much easier opponent, the Rossoneri may still encounter problems on Saturday - a number of players have just returned from national team matches, there too many injuries and knocks, and there is an important Champions League game against Chelsea coming up next week. Empoli should take advantage of this situation.

TipBoth to score

1.87

Empoli haven't won at home yet, but overall Zanetti's side has looked decent. The Blues don't sit on defense and often take risks going forward and creating scoring opportunities, so we expect them to score in the upcoming game. But the Rossoneri, too, should be able to deliver goals in this fixture - after all, the defending champions have superior quality and excellent performers in attack.
