Empoli’s form hasn’t been as consistent compared to their opponents coming into this fixture. With just one victory in their last six matches across all competitions along with four defeats and one draw during that span indicates some struggles within the team.

Currently positioned at 14th place in the Serie A standings, Empoli has accumulated a total of twenty points from their twenty matches played so far this season. Their goal difference stands at -6, highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities that they will need to address moving forward.

In their most recent match against Lecce, Empoli suffered a disappointing defeat with a final scoreline of 1-3. Despite Lorenzo Cacace finding the back of the net early in the second half, it wasn’t enough to secure any points for his team.

Key Players

For Inter, one standout player is Denzel Dumfries who has been influential both defensively and offensively as evidenced by his goalscoring contribution against Bologna. Another key player worth mentioning is Lautaro Martínez who scored an important equalizer just before halftime in their last match.

Empoli’s Sebastiano Esposito has shown great promise upfront with nine goals already this season. His ability to find the back of the net consistently makes him a threat that Inter’s defense should be wary of during this fixture.
