Empoli vs Inter. Prediction (odds 4.35) and bets on the Serie A match

Current form

Empoli were literally minutes away from relegation from Serie A last season, but saved the situation. There was no serious reinforcement in the summer, moreover, the Tuscans lost several important players and were considered one of the main candidates for relegation, quite rightly, given the modest selection of players. However, at the start, Roberto D'Aversa proved that even with such a lineup it is possible to surprise.

https://www.empolifc.com/>Empoli started very strongly, having managed to create a big sensation already in the second round, beating Roma 2:1 at the Olimpico. The Azzurri unbeaten streak lasted six rounds and was interrupted in Rome, where they suffered a setback in a match against Lazio (1:2). After that, the Tuscans gave Napoli a fight, but lost at home 0:1, showing quite decent football against the championship leader.

In the last round, Empoli played away to Parma and won the first half, but in the second half of the match they frankly failed. Having allowed the Crusaders to equalize the score, the Azzurri had every chance of losing if Parma had converted a penalty, but the opponent made a mistake and a 1:1 draw in such a situation is a success. At the moment, Empoli is 10th in the table with 11 points and is already five points away from the relegation zone.
