Defending champions Internazionale would be keen on getting back to winning ways in the Serie A as they travel to Empoli on Wednesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Inter have been the dominant side in this fixture having beaten their opponents 12 times across 14 meetings. Empoli, with just one win, has found it hard against their opponents, however, they're in decent form and would certainly fancy their chances of nicking a draw, at least.

Inzaghi's troops expected Empoli to leave with maximum points

Empoli have been a joy to watch of recent and the newly-promoted side head into this game camped in the top half of the Serie A table. After being dealt heavy blows by Atalanta and Roma in succession, they got back to winning ways last time out against fellow new boys Salernitana via a 4-2 victory. Pinamonti, with a brace, was at the heart of it as Empoli picked up their third victory in five league matches. However, they've been known to struggle against the top sides and would well be taken to the cleaners once again on Wednesday night.

Inter were on course for a monumental victory in the race for the Scudetto last weekend against Juventus as they lead the way heading into the final stages of the game. Dzeko has initially put them in front in the first half, however, the Old Lady left it late as Dybala kept his cool to convert Juventus' spot-kick just a minute from added time. Dropped points, once again, mean the defending champions are now seven points behind the league leader duo of Napoli and Milan and this could very much be detrimental to Inter's hopes of defending their championship. Nonetheless, it's still early days in the 2021/2022 season and there's plenty of time to make up the ground.

Empoli vs Inter Prediction: 0-3

Internazionale have been a little inconsistent in the league this season, dropping points once again last weekend. They would need to start racking up those wins if they're to close the gap on the summit. Empoli, on the other hand, hasn't performed well against the top teams and we see them struggling this Wednesday as well.
