&lt;p&gt;Empoli and AC Milan take each other on at 18:00 CET at the Castellani Computer Gross Arena.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The home side will look to pick themselves up after collecting just two points in their last eight matches, to secure a win that has eluded them since 8 December against Verona. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;It won’t be easy, however, given that AC Milan are looking to move towards the Champions League spots and are aiming for their third game unbeaten.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan have won seven of their last eight Serie A games against Empoli (D1), scoring 18 goals in the process (2.3 on average) and conceding only three times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan have kept a clean sheet in each of their last four league games against Empoli; only against Pisa do they have a longer active streak of consecutive clean sheets in Serie A (five between 1988 and 1991).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan are the team against which Empoli have played the most home games in Serie A without ever winning (P16 D7 L9). Meanwhile only against SPAL (19) have the Rossoneri played more away matches without ever losing in the top-flight than against the Tuscans (16).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Across the last eight Serie A games (since MD16), Empoli have picked up the fewest points (2) and conceded the most goals (18).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;AC Milan have conceded in each of their last six league games, after keeping a clean sheet in four of the previous five; the last time the Rossoneri conceded in seven consecutive matches in a single Serie A season came between November 2022 and February 2023.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Considering only the 1st half of games, AC Milan and Empoli have gained the same number of points in the Serie A standings this season (34 each in 7th and 8th place), but if considering only the 2nd half of matches the Rossoneri would occupy 11th place with 29 points and the Tuscans would occupy 19th place with 16 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lorenzo Colombo`s first five appearances in Serie A came for AC Milan between July 2020 and January 2021. He has scored five goals in 23 appearances in Serie A this season and he has never netted more in a single season in the top-flight (also five goals in 33 matches for Lecce in 2022/23).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tijjani Reijnders – who scored the only brace of his Serie A and Eredivisie career against Empoli in the reverse fixture in November – is the top scoring midfielder in Serie A this season (7 goals). The Dutchman, after his goals against Parma and Inter, could score in three consecutive matches for the first time in his top-flight career.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Santiago Giménez could become the first ever Mexican player to score for AC Milan in Serie A history. During his time at Feyenoord (since 2022/23), the forward scored 65 goals in 105 appearances across all competitions with only Luuk de Jong netting more for an Eredivisie club in that period (70 goals in 115 matches for PSV).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Maleh (Empoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Cacace, Gyasi (Empoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PAIRETTO (ROSSI L. – YOSHIKAWA) IV: COLLU, VAR: SERRA, AVAR: CHIFFI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Udinese-Empoli (Sunday 16 February, 15:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan-Hellas Verona (Saturday 15 February, 20:45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
