LiontipsInter vs Empoli. Serie A match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Inter approached the start of the season as a clear contender for the championship title, despite the summer strengthening of its competitors. In the first round, Simone Inzaghi team made several mistakes, and this was enough for its competitors to occupy the podium for a long time. At the moment, the Nerazzurri occupy second place in the table with 44 points and are three points behind the leader Napoli, while having a game in hand. The situation could have been more promising, but in the last round, Inter lost points in a home match with Bologna (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Bissek and Correa are injured.
Interesting trends for betting

Probable line-up: Sommer - Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni - Dumfries, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco - Thuram, Martinez.
Current form
Before the start of the season, Empoli was considered a clear candidate for relegation from Serie A, having sold several very important players in the summer and failed to find a full replacement for them. However, Roberto D'Aversa team played very strongly in the opening period of the championship and quickly broke away from the relegation zone, but the Azzurri did not last long. At the moment, the Tuscans are already in 14th place in the table with 20 points and are only two points away from the relegation zone - such a handicap can be lost today. Having lost in the last round with a score of 1:3 to Lecce, Empoli suffered their eighth defeat of the season.

1.61Tip and bets
Inter lost points in the last round and in conditions of such tough competition any mistake can eventually become fatal – the Nerazzurri have no right to stumble in the second match in a row. It is obvious that there will be no problems with motivation and in such a situation Empoli have very little chance to avoid a major defeat – the Azzurri are seriously inferior in class and are in a clear crisis, having managed to score only one point in the last five matches, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Inter . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.69
Bet on total
Inter will certainly be in a very determined mood today and will probably attack with great force from the first minutes. It is unlikely that Empoli has any real chances to play reliably; the Tuscans received three goals from modest Lecce in the last round, and there is a risk of receiving even more in Milan. At the same time, the Azzurri know how to play on the counterattack and can quite easily find their moment, as recent matches have shown, Inter is also not perfect in defense.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
Inter are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking, but the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-4) on corners for Inter. This bet is offered for 1.69
