The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Wednesday's Serie A clash between Empoli and AC Milan, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Empoli 1-1 AC Milan

 Milan are limping to the finish line in 2021, having started out with dreams of Scudetto glory last January - subsequently dashed by their bitterest rivals - and they could now be taking a similar road heading into the new year. A lack of attacking thrust has been apparent in recent weeks, and Empoli are more than capable of taking advantage of defensive uncertainty since the devastating injury to Simon Kjaer. Therefore, a point will have to satisfy the visitors before they take stock during the brief winter break. Read more.
