Aurelio Andreazzolli’s team doesn’t care who opposes them. The Blues play offensively against both underdogs and giants. It is always fascinating but inconsistent in terms of results. On the previous matchday, Empoli scored four goals in the first half to win 4-2 away to Salernitana. Before, the Blues were beaten 1-4 at home by Atalanta. It’s a rollercoaster ride, but Empoli are still far enough away from the relegation zone. After nine games, the team has 12 points and 10th place in the standings.
Inter were close to winning the Derby
The Nerazzurri became the first team in a month to stop Juventus. A 1-1 draw is a very respectable result, considering the crazy form the Turin side has been displaying of late. However, Simone Inzaghi’s side could have hoped for more than a point. As early as on 17 minutes, Inter opened the scoring thanks to the efforts of Edin Dzeko and remained in the lead until the end of the second half. But the result was an 89th-minute penalty and a goal from Paulo Dibala. And then there was Inzaghi’s suspension. Inter were just a little short of historical success. The Milan side now has 18 points and are currently third in Serie A, behind Napoli and AC Milan.
