Inter Milan have made an excellent start to the new season, and they will be looking to continue their momentum on the road on Sunday. They will come up against Empoli, who have lost each of their opening four matches this term.
Serie A Preview
Inter have put an immediate marker down in their race for the Serie A title this term, as they have made a perfect start to the new season. They have picked up four straight victories to start the new season, and they have scored 13 goals in the process. However, it is their defensive play that has caught the eye, as they have allowed just one goal in Serie A.
Inter could make history this weekend, as they could land victories in each of their opening five league matches at the start of the season for just the fourth time in their history. They previously achieved the feat under Antonio Conte in 2019-20. They should be full of confidence after landing a big-scoring win over AC Milan in their previous Serie A fixture last Saturday.
There will be pressure on the hosts this weekend, as Empoli currently sits bottom of the league standings after four rounds of matches. They have lost each of their opening four fixtures this term, and they are yet to find the back of the net. Even a first win of the season is unlikely to lift them out of the bottom three.
Empoli made unwanted history last weekend, as they became just the third team in Serie A history to lose each of their opening four matches of the season without finding the back of the net. However, no side in history has ever gone their opening five without scoring or recording a win.
Empoli vs Inter Milan Head to Head
Empoli has a poor record in this fixture, as they have lost 23 of their 30 matches against Inter in Serie A. Over that same period, they have recorded just four wins. Inter have landed victories in 14 of their last 16 league fixtures against Empoli, averaging two goals per game.
Empoli vs Inter Milan Prediction
The trends make for difficult reading for Empoli this weekend, as everything points to a comfortable win for Inter Milan. It could be hard to overlook that likely result, and we could see Inter keeping a clean sheet against Empoli for the ninth consecutive away match.
