Tonight’s match between AC Milan and Empoli is an important match when looking at the table as the Rossoneri have the chance to take advantage of Inter’s slip-up, but it also has many sub-plots too.
It goes without saying that Pioli’s men have a moral obligation to achieve victory in order to keep going in the right way towards their target of qualification for the next edition of the Champions League, but tonight’s match also has an added flavour.
As SempreMilan.it report, two important elements of the Milan midfield – Ismaël Bennacer and Rade Krunic – made their Serie A debut with Empoli. The Algerian played 37 games from 2018-19 for the Tuscans, while the Bosnian amassed 80 appearances and 8 goals.
A former Milan player will be in the Empoli ranks tonight: Mattia Destro. The striker made 15 appearances and scored 3 goals in Serie A 2014-15, and as an opponent he has scored five times (the last one in April 2021) against Milan.
Moreover, there are two players that Milan will have a close eye on tonight as another report has emerged claiming that the management are interested in Tommaso Baldanzi and Fabiano Parisi.
