Anytime Correct Score 2-0
In the nine home games played so far in Serie A, Inter Milan were up by a 2-0 score in four of them. Also, in three of their last four away games, Empoli conceded two back-to-back goals and went down by a 0-2 score.
Inter Milan
After a disappointing 2-2 draw away to Monza, Inter Milan bounced back quickly and beat Verona by 1-0 in the previous round. The Nerazzurri are now undefeated in five games winning four and drawing one and are currently lying in fourth place with 37 points.
With just one defeat at the Meazza in Serie A since August, Inter Milan look very comfortable playing there winning the other eight fixtures. Moreover, apart from that 1-2 loss to Roma, Simone Inzaghi’s men had six clean sheets and conceded two goals in the process.
Empoli
Empoli recorded their first win in three games after beating Sampdoria by 1-0 at home in round 18. The Blues are now undefeated in four games and with 22 points from five wins and seven draws, they are lying in the 11th position.
The last two away games by Empoli were encouraging as they drew with two tough teams Udinese and Lazio. However, the Blues conceded at least a goal in eight of their nine trips and two or more in three of the last four. Offensively, Empoli are averaging 0.89 goals scored per game.
Inter Milan are the clear favorites to win this game due to their recent form and the fact that they won the last nine meetings with Empoli. As a result, we will back Inter to win and will combine it with over 1.5 goals to obtain better odds.
Four of the last six games between Inter Milan and Empoli saw one team score. According to the statistics, there is a 55% chance that we will see goals from one team. Thus, with odds of 1.71 at 1xBet, we predict to see goals from one team in this match.
