Empoli have attacked well leading up to this encounter, scoring 12 goals in their previous 6 matches.

Putting that to one side, it remains to be seen if that pattern shall persist here in this match or not.

ℹ️ Team News: Inter Milan

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Gabriel Brazão (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will miss out.

ℹ️ Team News: Empoli

Empoli manager Aurelio Andreazzoli has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Tommaso Baldanzi (Ankle Injury), Fabiano Parisi (Muscular problems), Nicolas Haas (Torn Knee Ligament), Emmanuel Ekong (Unknown Injury), Sebastiano Luperto (Unknown Injury) and Federico Di Francesco (Muscle Injury) can’t be considered.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Inter Milan will probably be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

However, Empoli will not find it easy to make a breakthrough but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be being dangerous at times, too.

We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Inter Milan by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
