Empoli vs Inter Prediction: Will the Nerazzurri win?

Inter, the newly crowned Champions League semi-finalist, will play their next game away against Empoli. Will the Nerazzurri achieve victory? The first leg against Empoli was a 0:1 defeat for Inter.

The Blues have slowed down considerably toward the end of the league season. In the previous fixture, they suffered another disappointing defeat away to Cremonese (0:1). Empoli conceded at the start of the game and failed to create any real chances against one of the league's weakest defenses. Overall, the Blues have won only one match in their last 11. An extremely disappointing stretch, although it should be noted that Empoli has already accomplished their task for the season - currently sitting 14th in the standings, nine points ahead of the relegation zone.

In Serie A, the Nerazzurri lost on home soil to Monza (0:1) last matchday, extending their unbeaten run to five games - two draws, three defeats. A few days later, they secured promotion to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League by beating the Portuguese side Benfica 3:3 at home to win 5:3 on aggregate. Inter faces AC Milan in the semi-finals of Europe's premier club competition. A great success, which fully compensates for the latest failures of the Black and Blue in the championship.

As you can see from their recent results, it is difficult for Inter to spread its forces across several fronts. Therefore, the championship is of secondary importance to Simone Inzaghi's side. The UEFA Champions League semi-final and the chance to win the domestic cup, where Inter will be facing Juventus in the semi-final, combined with the Super Cup they have already won, make the season a success for the Nerazzurri anyway. So, in Serie A, it is possible to continue to stumble. Inter may also suffer another setback in Empoli. Although the local side has slowed down recently, they can still pull themselves together in one meeting, especially since the Blues have already beaten Inter this season, and they know how to do it. We're betting on Empoli here, and we also expect the encounter to be low-scoring - Empoli is one of the bottom teams in this league, especially in home games.
