Inter - Empoli predictions

Empoli will have little to hope for against Inter. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

From the present standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of Inter and the 13.01 odds given to Empoli to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be an unexpected upset.

Inter are coming on the back of a 1:1 draw against Napoli in their most recent home game. Serie A betting predictions were fairly optimistic about that winning, though, so that’s not exactly a good outcome. Moreover, they dropped a lead that they earned in the first half.

Empoli’s narrow 0:1 loss at home against Bologna in the previous round was quite predictable, considering online sportsbooks priced a home win at 4.14.

Inter’s attackers have been seeing a lot of success lately, even in away matches. For instance, they scored 7 times during the course of their previous three away games.

Looking over the stats for the away team, it seems they consistently display a remarkable ability to perform under pressure. They boast 5 goals on record in their latest 3 away games alone and there is no doubt they will be looking to get their name on the score board this time around as well.

The game’s hosts are leading the standings with a 76_TO_SAFE_ZONE -point difference. They seem likely to push that even further this Monday, and each point is worth its weight in gold this late in the season.

Empoli are hovering in the lower parts of the league table, currently at number 17th. Their only goal right now is to build up more space between them and the relegation zone as we enter the latter parts of the season. Inter are hardly a good opportunity to earn points, however, considering the 13.01 odds on the visitors winning.

The Nerazzurri clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, though it doesn’t seem insurmountable by any means. They won despite a home-field disadvantage the last time they clashed with Empoli, but it was a rather narrow victory.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Stefan de Vrij, Stefano Sensi, Yann Sommer, Carlos Augusto, Marko Arnautović for the hosts, and Ardian Ismajli, Tyronne Ebuehi, Alberto Grassi for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
