Inter vs Empoli Betting Tips & Predictions

Inter may well be disappointed with the second half of their season, having led Serie A going into the mid-season break, but they are ending the campaign in good form, at least at the San Siro where they have won six of their last seven matches. The visit of mid-table Empoli looks a perfect chance to extend that run even further, but Inter have been maddeningly inconsistent, winning only one of nine on the road.

The head-to-head record also strongly favours Inter, who have beaten Empoli five times in the last six meetings between the sides, with Empoli seeming to go through the motions in recent weeks, their Serie A status secured. Marco Giampaolo’s men are in 12th place but a strong last couple of games could yet see them climb into the top half of the table.

However, Inter’s motivation should be a lot stronger for this game as a win will guarantee they finish in fourth place, sending them into the group stage of the Europa League next season without having to play a qualifier. Inter will also want to put on a show for their long-suffering fans in what is their final home game of the season.

Inter to Win to Nil at 10/13 with Betfair is our tip for the game given the gulf in class between the sides, Inter’s strong run at home and their excellent head-to-head record in this fixture. But Empoli’s last nine Serie A games have all seen under 2.5 goals, so our correct score tip is Inter to Win 2-0 at 13/2, also with Betfair.
