Inter Milan are set to play Empoli at San Siro on Monday in Serie A. Inter Milan come into this game on the back of a 3-0 win over Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan in the final of the Supercoppa Italiana. Goals from left-back Federico Dimarco, Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko and Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez sealed the deal for Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan.
Empoli, on the other hand, beat Dejan Stankovic’s Sampdoria 1-0 in the league. A second-half goal from Nigeria international Tyronne Ebuehi secured the win for Paolo Zanetti’s Empoli.

Inter vs Empoli Prediction
Inter Milan are currently 3rd in the league, although the Serie A table is in flux right now following Juventus’ 15-point deduction. Juventus are expected to appeal the decision, but Inter Milan, for now, sit 3rd, 10 points behind league leaders Napoli.
The performances of players like Samir Handanovic and Joaquin Correa have attracted criticism, while Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku is yet to display the form that made him such a feared striker during his first spell in Italy. With both Correa and Lukaku struggling in attack, it makes sense that Inter Milan have been linked with Borussia Monchengladbach’s Marcus Thuram.
Empoli, on the other hand, are 12th in the league, and have won two of their last five league games. Following Juventus’ 15-point deduction, Empoli have the same number of points as Massimiliano Allegri’s side. Empoli are three points behind 7th-placed Udinese, and will hope to rise up the table (and potentially overtake Juventus) during the second-half of the season.
Inter Milan will be the favourites to win this game.
Prediction: Inter Milan 1-0 Empoli

Inter vs Empoli Team News
Amid a hectic schedule for his squad, Simone Inzaghi may well consider some rotation on Monday, with Denzel Dumfries, Stefan de Vrij and Kristjan Asllani the main contenders for promotion to Inter’s starting lineup.
Romelu Lukaku recently returned to full training and is set to feature on the bench, but both Samir Handanovic and midfield regular Marcelo Brozovic are still short of fitness.
In Lukaku’s absence from the hosts’ attack, Edin Dzeko should partner Lautaro Martinez up front. The latter has nine league goals this term and could become only the third foreign player in Inter history to reach double figures in at least four different Serie A seasons.
