✅ Stats before the game. In the last 30 Serie A matches against Lombard teams, Empoli have only achieved two wins (2-1 v Milan in 2017 and 3-2 v Atalanta in 2018): nine draws and 19 defeats complete the set. Milan have remained unbeaten in 20 of the last 21 Serie A matches against newly promoted teams (15W, 5D): the only exception in the partial, the 0-2 away defeat against Spezia in February 2021. Milan have won the last three games played on Wednesday in the league with an overall score of 12-0; in general, the last defeat remedied away by the Rossoneri in Serie A on this day of the week dates back to February 2012 (0-2 v Lazio); since then, eight hits and six draws. Empoli have won their last two home league games and could reach three successes in a row, at home, in the competition, for the first time since December 2018, with Giuseppe Iachini on the bench. This will be the last away match in 2021 for AC Milan, which will have the last chance to become the second team in Serie A history to achieve at least 17 away league wins in a single calendar year (after Napoli’s 18 in 2017 – also Atalanta at 16 before matchday 19); however, the Rossoneri have only won one of the three away games played since last November (1N, 1P).
