Empoli vs AC Milan: prediction & betting odds 8 Feb 2025
Betting tips 8 Feb 2025
AC Milan’s recent squad changes during the January transfer window have already yielded positive results, as they comfortably defeated Roma (3:1) in the Coppa Italia. Facing Empoli away should not pose a significant challenge for the Milan side, who are pushing back into the top-five race.
Empoli have endured a difficult couple of months, with very few performances to be proud of. Their 4:1 thrashing by Juventus marked an eighth consecutive match without victory—a stretch that includes six defeats. In 2025, they have collected just two points from a possible 15, largely due to defensive frailties (12 goals with 6.58 xGA).
Milan’s Coppa Italia victory over AS Roma was their tenth match under Sérgio Conceição, and it appears that the club’s management is backing him through winter transfers. Key departures included Davide Calabria, Álvaro Morata, and Ismaël Bennacer, but reinforcements such as Álex Jiménez, João Félix, Warren Bondo, and Riccardo Sottil have already had an impact—Jiménez and Félix contributed in just 12 minutes against Roma.
Empoli’s squad situation is far from ideal—Samuele Angori and Ardian Ismajli are injured, while Youssef Maleh will miss the match due to suspension. In late November, Milan (under Paulo Fonseca) dominated Empoli (3:0) at San Siro. Even if the margin is smaller this time, they are expected to secure a routine victory.
