Inter – Empoli : Preview & Prediction
Inter Milan, second in Serie A, are in the title race and will be locked in a fierce duel with arch-rivals AC Milan until the last minute of the final day. The Nerazzurri are just two points behind the Rossoneri going into the 36th matchday and must win all their games and hope the leaders slip up to claim a 20th Scudetto. The defeat at Bologna (2-1) on 27 April hurt the morale of the Inter side, who had been unbeaten since 20 February and had won five games in a row before the trip to Bologna. In the last matchday, Dzeko’s partners (13 goals) defeated Udinese (2-1) on the road and the latter are back in their home stadium where they have won three times against Hellas Verona (2-0), against AC Milan (3-0) in the Italian Cup semi-final and against AS Roma (3-1) on 23 April. Empoli, who have lost their last eight league matches, have nothing left to play for at the end of the season. Andreazzoli’s side are 14th with 37 points and a comfortable 11-point lead over 18th-placed Salernitana, who have a game in hand. Barring a major disaster, Empoli will be back in Serie A for another season. Empoli lost 1-3 at home to Torino on Sunday, just over two weeks after their last away defeat at Udinese (4-1). Empoli have not won away from home since 15 December 2021 and this trip to Lombardy should confirm the difficulties of Pinamonti’s partners (12 goals) away from Carlo Castellani.
Inter Milan are 2 points behind leaders AC Milan with 3 games to go. A must-win game.
Empoli will start another season in Serie A next season.
Empoli are on a 10-game winless streak in all competitions (5 draws and 5 defeats).
Empoli are coming off a heavy 4-1 defeat at Udinese.
Inter have won their last 3 home games by a minimum of 2 goals.
Inter Milan have won their last 8 meetings with Empoli in the Calcio.
Inter Milan won 2-0 in the first leg on 27 October and should win again in style against this modest Empoli side.
