Andy Brown — Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:09:16 +0000

In the last match of the sixth round in the Serie A, Empoli will confront AC Milan (27 September). The Rossoneri are making a hard push to finish in top four this season. They had the bad luck to be equalized in the stoppage time by Emiliano Rigoni with his late goal in the 91-minute last round. The match against Empoli would be a chance to make it up to their fans with a victory.

Key Players Missing

Milan’s players Andrea Conti and Riccardo Montolivo are injured and will not play. Ivan Strinic who has played great World Cup matches is also missing due to heart problems.
Empoli’s list of absentees is a little longer, with the likes of Lorenzo Polvani, Luca Antonelli, Manuel Pasqual and probably the biggest miss of the centre-forward Alejandro Rodriguez, who suffers from a cruciate ligament rupture.

Empoli vs. AC Milan Head to Head

Empoli has not beaten Milan on home ground in Serie A matches since 2004. Their two wins are away from home, the last one (2-1) at the end of the previous season. The Rossoneri have defeated their opponents 3 times in 6 games at Empoli’s stadium, but only once in the last 3 matches. The last 4 games finished over 2.5 goals.

Empoli team form

21.09.2018 Sassuolo 3-1 Empoli (ISA)
16.09.2018 Empoli 0-1 Lazio (ISA)
02.09.2018 Chievo 0-0 Empoli (ISA)
26.08.2018 Genoa 2-1 Empoli (ISA)
19.08.2018 Empoli 2-0 Cagliari (ISA)

Milan team form

20.09.2018 Dudelange 0-1 AC Milan (UEL)
16.09.2018 Cagliari 1-1 AC Milan (ISA)
31.08.2018 AC Milan 2-1 AS Roma (ISA)
25.08.2018 Napoli 3-2 AC Milan (ISA)
The home side desperately need to earn points or they will drop under the relegation line, as they are equal with Bologna, both having 4 points. On the other hand, Milan have been performing very impressively since the beginning of the season and it seems like Rino Gattuso’s squad is going to restore the club to its former glory.
Even more so considering the matches against favorites Roma and Napoli demonstrate the progress in the team’s play.

Empoli vs. AC Milan Betting Tips

As we have already noticed the last 4 games finish over 2.5 (1.72 at bet365) goals and we think it is worthy to try out this bet. According to us, it would be a tough game and Milan is going to win with a goal difference (3.7 at bet365).

admin — Wed, 10 Aug 2016 19:15:32 +0000

Since the departure of Javier Mascherno six years ago, Liverpool have not had a world class defensive midfielder in the squad.
Brazilian international Lucas Leiva has been the Reds’ main holding midfield star and the 29-year-old South American is now linked with a move away from Anfield.
In such a scenario, the Merseysiders must sign a strong DM and a certain Argentine is in the limelight. The player in discussion is Leandro Paredes who currently plays for Italian side AS Roma.
Back in March, the Reds were linked with a move to sign the 22-year-old La Albiceleste midfielder. Now that the transfer window is active, Liverpool can finally seal his signing and reports (Telegraph via Talksport) suggest that they are interested in securing the signature of the £16million rated ($21million) star this summer.
Last season, Paredes played on loan for Empoli and was their star defensive midfielder. He made 33 appearances, scored 2 goals and also provided one assist.
Lucas is past his best and Klopp must splash the cash to sign Paredes. He will provide the much needed protection in front of the back four.
