AC Milan have only played 23 times on a Friday in their Serie A history, but their record in those games smiles on them looking ahead to tonight.
Milan will come into the game full of confidence having beaten the runaway league leaders Napoli 4-0 on Sunday, but Empoli ended their run of eight games without a win as they defeated Lecce to ease any fears of a slide towards the bottom three.
In addition to the good result against Luciano Spalletti’s side, the Rossoneri’s record on Fridays should give a further boost. Milan have lost just 9% of the Serie A matches they had played on a Friday, which is two out of 23.
Among the sides who have played three or more games on a Friday in the history of Serie A, it is the Diavolo who have the lowest loss percentage. However, history counts for nothing and a quality performance will be needed against a tough side.
