Empoli returned to the top league after three seasons as a newcomer. Their main goal is to stay in top league. Their squad is worth 77 million euros. The most famous players are goalkeeper Vicario, defenders Tonelli and Stojanovic, midfielders Bajrami (2g+2a) and Stulac (2a) and forwards Pinamonti (3g) and Cutrone.
Empoli surprised all fans of Italian football on Saturday afternoon when they led 4-0 at half-time at Salernitana. Although the Salernitana scored twice in the second half, they didn't lose any more points and confirmed that they are all or nothing this season (4-0-5). Newcomer of the competition surprised Juventus in the beginning, winning 1-0, but in the last few weeks it seems that it is not so good against strong teams (AS Roma 0-2, Atalanta 1-4).
After 11 years, Inter enjoys the championship title. After winning it, although the two big players Hakimi and Lukaku left, they still have a 535 million euro squad and several very good names : Handanovic, De Vrij, Škriniar (2g), Bastoni, Brozovic, Barella (6a), Perisic (2g+1a), Calhanoglu (3a), Correa (2g), Lautaro Martinez (5g) or Džeko (7g+2a).
Inter have won 13 of the 14 meetings since 2006, including the last seven in a row, and they don't want to lose this time either. In fact, coach Inzaghi's players have won in only one of the previous four league encounters and last time they drew 1-1 with Juventus. The top of the table is getting further away from them (seven points) and in such matches Inter Milan have to win clearly. Another positive for the visitors is the fact that they have already made three great second half turnovers away this season (Verona, Fiorentina, Sassuolo).
My prediction: Asian Handicap: Inter Milan -1.0 @ 1.67 (bet365)
