Based on last 50 matches in "Italy. Serie A", up to 01/19/2025
To build a prediction for the Inter - Empoli match, scheduled for 19 January 2025, several key factors could influence the outcome. Inter have played 50 matches, in which they won 36 of them, drew 12 times and lost 2 matches. Empoli, having played 50 matches, won 12 times, drew 16 matches and lost 22 defeats. In the league, Inter average 2.4 goals scored per game and 0.7 conceded. Empoli average 0.9 scored and 1.3 conceded. These sides last met on 29 October 2024 at Empoli's ground, where the away side proved stronger.
Inter are in second place and trail the leader by 6 points. If not now, then when should they earn points and catch up? Therefore, I think Inter will do everything in their power to earn points in this match. A goal in both halves.
For some reason, Inter allow their opponents to take a lot of corners near their goal this season, even when they play at home. Empoli's average number of corners conceded away is more than five.
Inter face a very favorable opponent today. The Milan club have beaten Empoli four times in a row with clean sheets and a handicap. The balance of power has not changed at all, so we expect the same result today.
