Football prediction Inter Milan - Empoli in Serie A

Overview

Empoli are going through a very difficult period of competition. They have not won in the last 5 rounds in Serie A, including 4 losses.

More broadly, Empoli have only won 1, drawn 4 and lost 5 in their last 10 matches. Therefore, having to play away at Inter Milan is predicted to be a challenge beyond the reach of coach Roberto D'Aversa's team.

In contrast to the away team, Inter Milan are in very good form in Serie A this year. Since losing to AC Milan at the end of September last year, they have not lost again.

Inter have won 11 and drawn three of their last 14 domestic league games. Despite their poor results in cup competitions, Inter have shown remarkable consistency in Serie A.

Coach Simone Inzaghi's team has the best attack in the tournament with 48 goals, and is also the second best defense with 17 goals conceded.

The head-to-head record also favors Inter as they have won all four of their most recent meetings. They have scored nine goals and conceded none. It is not difficult to see the class difference between Inter and Empoli in the upcoming match.

Coach Inzaghi remains loyal to the 3-5-2 formation, with Lautaro Martinez playing the leading role in attack, alongside Marcus Thuram. Home advantage and superior squad quality will help Inter confidently aim for 3 points to continue the championship race.

Human resources situation

Empoli will be without Ebuehi, Sazonov, Haas, Anjorin, Solbakken and Pellegri due to injury. In addition, Ekong is forced to miss out due to suspension, while Ismajli's ability to play remains uncertain.

On the other side of the front line, Di Gennaro, Bisseck, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan and Joaquin Correa of ​​Inter are all sidelined for health reasons.

Expected lineup:

Inter Milan: Sommer, Darmian, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Zielinski, Dimarco, Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.

Empoli: Seghetti, Goglichidze, De Sciglio, Viti, Gyasi, Grassi, Maleh, Pezzella, Esposito, Cacace, Colombo.
