Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After suffering a surprising loss to Monza at the weekend, Inter will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they take on Empoli in the opening game of Sunday's program. The Nerazzurri failed to turn their dominance into goals against Monza, and it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to beat Empoli. Defender Milan Skriniar should be the only absentee in the visiting side.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, are safe for now as they are nine points clear of the relegation zone. Inter want this win more than Empoli, and we predict that Simone Inzaghi's troops are going to prove their worth on the field. All Vicario, Akpa Akpro, and Ismajli should miss out with injuries for the home team. In the first half of the season Empoli shocked Inter at "Meazza", meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
