Empoli vs AC Milan prediction, odds, preview, and betting tips for Serie A match Sunday

American star Christian Pulisic will hope to continue his strong run of form as AC Milan travel to meet relegation-threatened Empoli on Sunday.

As the calendar turns to 2024, Pulisic stands as the team's second-leading goal scorer across all competitions, with his seven goals behind just the nine from striker Olivier Giroud. He leads Rafael Leao and Luka Jovic in that category, while his five assists are also second on the team, one behind Giroud and level with Leao.

Milan sit third in the Serie A table, needing to close the distance in the title race as Inter and Juventus threaten to pull away. Their cross-town rivals lead the standings on 45 points, two clear of Juve and a massive nine ahead of Milan.

Empoli are in the midst of the drop zone, sitting 19th on 13 points, but have started to show signs of life, securing draws with bottom-half sides Genoa, Lecce, and Cagliari in recent games, and even upsetting Napoli in mid-November. Still, they sport the league's worst attacking output, with just 10 goals through 18 matches.
