Inter will be playing for a must-win tonight. The points difference with second-placed Milan is down to 11. Last week they drew with Napoli and lost points. They were also eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. I'm sure they will focus more on the league now. On the other hand, Empoli are in the relegation zone. I don't think they have a chance against Inter in this match. The odds for an Inter victory are low. But I think Inter's win is a sure thing.
Inter started the match quickly and scored with Dimarco. It was already clear that the champion was superior to Empoli, they will try to widen the gap. Thuram and Martinez can also score goals. Empoli is also looking for a goal with M'Baye Niang. More goals will be scored in this match, both teams are attacking. Empoli now has nothing to lose. They have to get points to avoid relegation.
The final result of the match between Inter Milan and Empoli was 2-0. Maybe the score should have been higher. However, in this match, Empoli also played quite well and were able to provide significant resistance to Inter Milan. So until the second half whistle sounded the score remained unchanged, namely 2-0. So, even though the goals scored by the Inter Milan players were not big, Inter Milan still managed to take home the full 3 points. And this is the main goal that Inter Milan wants. However, what is worrying is that Empoli is currently increasingly trapped at the bottom of the Serie A standings or more precisely in the relegation zone. The reason is, after being defeated by Inter Milan, Empoli is currently ranked 18th out of 20 in the Serie A standings with 25 points.
Actually, Empoli still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone. As long as in the next match, Empoli must be able to win. Then Frosinone, who was ranked 17th, lost their match. Maybe this will be a little difficult to happen. The reason is that in the upcoming match, Empoli will face Torino. Because if you look at Empoli and Torino's head to head record, the result is that Empoli has not been able to beat Torino in their last 5 meetings. So the possibility that Empoli can win over Torino is very small. Meanwhile, Frosinone, who is ranked 17th, will face Bologna and it is very likely that Frosinone will lose. So if this week Empoli wants to get out of the relegation zone, Empoli must be able to win against Torino or achieve a draw.
