Inter Milan
So far, the Milan team can bring this season to its asset. Nerazzurri were able to reach the playoffs of the Champions League and are leading in the Serie A. The black-and-blue for 18 matches, taking into account all tournaments, only 1 defeat, which happened in a duel against Real Madrid in the framework of the LCH. The day before, the Milanese were able to replenish their piggy bank with another trophy. The team was able to win the Italian Cup, defeating Juventus in overtime (2:1 FROM). After that, they painted the world with Atalanta (0:0) in Serie A.
Empoli
Empoli's players are in the middle of the Serie A standings, in 11th position. It is worth noting the fact that the team is not in danger of relegation, but, at the same time, it is still too far to the European Cup positions. For the past five meetings in a row, the team has not been able to win. In this segment, the Blues lost twice and brought three meetings to a draw, which can hardly please the fans of the team. In the current Cup of the country, Empoli has passed two stages, having managed to beat Vicenza and Verona in turn.
Statistics and figures:
- Inter is the favorite of the meeting;
- Milan have not lost in the last 6 matches;
- Empoli has a 5-match winless streak;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of Inter.
Forecast
It is worth noting that Inter is playing very well against Empoli. The Milan team won 8 previous matches against the Blues, and is not averse to extending its streak again, because the opponent does not pose such a threat as the same Juventus, which the Milanese dealt with in the Super Cup.
