In the 28th round of Serie A, we are looking forward to a big victory for AC Milan against Empoli.

Despite the Scudetto being seemingly out of reach, AC Milan retains hope for silverware this season with a potential European quarter-final on the horizon. They currently trail city rivals Inter Milan by 16 points in the Serie A standings and are one point behind second-placed Juventus.

Nevertheless, since December, only Inter has amassed more points and scored more goals than Pioli's team. This success is attributed to a collective team effort, with key contributions from players such as Pulisic, Rafael Leao, and leading goal-scorer Olivier Giroud, supported by a capable ensemble including Giroud's backup Luka Jovic and Swiss striker Noah Okafor.Leading up to their upcoming visit to San Siro, Empoli has only managed one victory in their last 14 league encounters with Milan - and that was nearly seven years ago. Despite a recent resurgence that has seen the Tuscan club move away from the Serie A relegation zone, they still face a significant threat of demotion, even after a six-game undefeated streak under new manager Davide Nicola.

Despite a setback at the hands of relegation rivals Cagliari last week, Empoli's performance in the first eight matches of the second half of the season has yielded 12 points. This is just one point shy of their total for the entire first half of the current campaign.
