Empoli vs Inter Milan Prediction and Betting Tips | October 30th 2024
The action continues in round 10 of the Italian Serie A as Empoli and Inter Milan go head-to-head on Wednesday. Simone Inzaghi’s men have won their last six visits to the Estadio Carlo Castellani since January 2016 and will be looking to extend this dominant eight-year streak.
Empoli failed to return to winning ways at the weekend as they played out a 1-1 draw with Parma after giving up their lead in the 80th minute at the Ennio Tardini Stadium.
Roberto D'Aversa’s side have now gone four consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming two draws since picking up back-to-back victories against Cagliari and Torino in September.
Empoli have picked up two wins and five draws from their nine Serie A games this season to collect 11 points and sit 10th in the table but could move level with eighth-placed AC Milan with all three points on Wednesday.
Elsewhere, Inter Milan played out a pulsating 4-4 draw with Juventus in a potential Serie A game-of-the-season contender at the San Siro last Sunday.
Before that, Inzaghi’s men were on a run of four straight wins across all competitions, with victories over Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League.
With 18 points from nine matches, Inter Milan are currently second in the Serie A standings, four points behind first-placed Napoli.
