Prediction: 2-0
Empoli
Sunday’s football game at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza pits together Inter and Empoli, the two sides with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Inter aim to defend their Serie A title, while Empoli are fighting tooth and nail to secure yet another top flight survival. Experienced midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has overcome his injury, but all Yann Aurel Bisseck, Hakn Calhanoglu, and Francesco Acerbi remain in the recovery room.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, losing four of their last five league matches. As Empoli experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Lecce, we are tempted to put our money on the title hopefuls. In their last meeting in Milano, Inter recorded a 2-0 win over Empoli, who will be without Tyronne Ebuehi and Nicolas Haas in the closing match of Sunday’s program.
Highlighted Player (Yann Sommer):
After making 133 league appearances for Basel between 2007 and 2014, Yann Sommer joined Borussia Monchengladbach on March, 2014. The Swiss goalkeeper signed a five-year deal with the Bundesliga outfit and he was signed to replace Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who joined Barcelona.
Sommer made 34 appearances for Borussia M’gladbach in the 2014/2015 season and it has to be noted that he managed to keep 15 clean sheets. As a result, die Fohlen finished the season in third place in the standings. The Swiss shoot-stopper, though, was not as successful in the 2015/2016 season, keeping just 5 clean sheets, while conceding 50 goals in the process.
Sommer made his Switzerland debut on 30 May, 2012 in a 1-0 loss to Romania and he represented the Rossocrociati at both 2014 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2016. The shoot-stopper made 8 appearances for Switzerland on the road to Euro 2016 and he conceded eight goals in the process.
