Empoli’s Rotten Run to Continue
Empoli have a miserable record against Milan so it’s easy to see why they are the underdogs here. The Rossoneri haven’t had it all their way so far this season but they are still firmly in the top-four race.
Stefano Pioli’s men are more than capable of scoring a few here so we are going to back Milan -1 at odds of 2.77 with Bet9ja. This means that the home side will have a one-goal head start.
Empoli are 19th in Serie A and have failed to win any of their last five head-to-heads against Milan. The seven-time Champions League winners have won by at least a two-goal margin on three of their last four visits to this ground. Milan won 3-1 in this fixture last season.
Bet 1: Milan -1 handicap @ 2.77 Bet9ja
Goals to Flow at Carlo Castellani
The Rossoneri have struggled to keep clean sheets on the road this season. The next of our Empoli vs Milan predictions is for both teams to score in the match. This bet is available at odds of 1.72 with bet9ja.
Stefano Pioli’s side have scored in all nine of their away matches in Serie A and both teams have scored in seven of those games. They have conceded an average of 1.78 goals over that period.
Empoli have looked toothless at times during this campaign. However, their scoring record in the recent head-to-heads with Milan is encouraging. They have found the net in each of their last six home matches against the Rossoneri with an average of 1.5 per encounter.
Bet 2: GG (both teams to score) @ 1.72 Bet9ja
Scarcity of Set Pieces for the Home Side
The third of our Empoli vs Milan predictions is for the home side to have three corners or fewer in the match. We can back this at odds of 2.21 on Bet9ja.
Empoli’s last 10 matches against this opponent have seen them average 3.2 corners per game but their corner stats in the recent head-to-heads at this ground are encouraging for this bet. They have had three corners or less in five of Milan’s last six visits.
Milan are conceding just 4.22 corners per away game this season. That’s the fourth-fewest in Serie A. You’d expect them to keep that run going against this out-of-form Empoli outfit. This bet has won in five of Milan’s nine matches on the road.
Bet 4: Under 3.5 corners for Empoli @ 2.21 Bet9ja
Jovic’s Time to Shine
The last of our tips is for Luka Jovic to score at any time in the match at odds of 2.85 with Bet9ja.
The Serbian forward was one of the hottest properties in world football just a few seasons ago. His premature move to Real Madrid saw his career stagnate. He was disappointing at Fiorentina last season but Milan took a gamble and brought him in to bolster their attack.
Jovic hasn’t had many opportunities but he managed to score twice in Milan’s recent 4-1 win over Cagliari in the Coppa Italia. Olivier Giroud has been first choice for Pioli but this is a chance for Jovic to showcase his ability and put together a run of scoring form.
Jovic should have plenty of chances against a struggling Empoli side. If you want a longer punt, Christian Pulisic is also a good option in this market.
Bet 4: Jovic to score anytime @ 2.85 Bet9ja
