Team Analysis:
Empoli secured a hard-fought draw on the road against Cagliari last Saturday, with the match ending in a goalless stalemate. While Empoli had slightly more possession, the game lacked real creativity from both sides. Cagliari intensified their efforts in the second half, arguably becoming the better team, but missed crucial opportunities, including a penalty kick in the 82nd minute that could have tilted the balance. Despite the positive outcome for Empoli, they continue to hover just above the relegation zone, portraying the image of a team struggling to avoid demotion.

In contrast, AC Milan secured a narrow 1-0 home victory over Sassuolo last Saturday evening, showcasing a pragmatic approach with limited creative play and chances. The decisive goal came in the 59th minute through Pulisic, as Milan increased their tempo and displayed heightened intensity when necessary. With three consecutive Serie A games without a loss, Milan remains in contention for the title. Their offensive prowess was evident in a 4-1 triumph over Cagliari in the midweek Copa Italia fixture.

Conclusion:
Currently in good form, AC Milan has further bolstered their confidence with a midweek victory over Cagliari. Their offensive capabilities far exceed those of Empoli, who may struggle to remain competitive in various aspects of the game against the formidable hosts.
