I am not sure that AC Milan will be able to win this match against Empoli despite some injury problems, but I think that they will be able to take it to the end. Recent times have seen Milan playing quite decently compared to Empoli, which is quite a contrast. In the case of Empoli, their main problem is that they are not scoring enough goals, as they have only scored 6 goals in 7 games and conceded 7 in the same period. It is clear that Milan are scoring goals on a regular basis, so I think that they will have a better chance of winning this match.
You doubt Milan beat Empoli? Empoli just won 1 match from 7 matches with this bad result I don't know how they held up Milan's attack
On the other hand, Milan is still hunting for points to move up to the top 3 to be closer to Napoli and Atalanta, Milan are 3 points behind competitors so I'm sure they don't want to waste more points especially in the last match Milan have lost 3 points.
If Milan played with their best starting lineup i am sure they can beat Empoli and the current problem is Milan faced injured storm even so far they got 8 players who got injured so this will have any effect for Milan performance because some of them are Milan key players so against Empoli will be difficult match for them because the have to play with the current squad and one of the biggest lost is Milan has lost their goalkeeper Maignan Mike and reported he will be absent when Milan playing against Empoli and Chelsea and Milan don't have much options on that position because only name Ciprian Tatarusanu will be the replacement of him
