Inter’s defensive problems all came back to the surface in the challenge with Juventus, which surprisingly ended in a pyrotechnic 4-4 draw. A match, the one at San Siro, that – contrary to what was expected – did not skimp on spectacle, with the two teams doing everything to bring home the three points, even at the cost of risking something. The other side of the coin, however, was represented by the two defenses, which were “ballerinas” to say the least.
The Nerazzurri’s rearguard, which in the final part of the match let itself be pierced 2 times by the Turkish jewel Yildiz, surprised in a negative way. The regret, needless to say, is huge for Simone Inzaghi’s team: before the two goals scored by the product of the Juventus’ youth academy, in fact, the Italian champions were leading 4-2 and had several times come close to the fifth goal. There are already 13 total goals conceded by an Inter side that is unable to regain the solidity of last year, the one that allowed it to dominate the league and win the Scudetto with enormous anticipation. Inzaghi is demanding answers from the Empoli away match in the midweek round, a test that if taken underhand can turn out to be a dangerous banana peel. The Tuscans are playing a good championship so far and this is shown by the fact that after 10 days they are in mid-table, +5 on the third-last. After two losses to Lazio and Napoli, Roberto D’Aversa’s team returned to scoring points on Sunday by drawing 1-1 in Parma.The defense continues to be an added value, as it is the third least beaten in the tournament (6 goals).
Empoli-Inter: the latest lineup news
In addition to the long-suffering Perisan and Sazonov, D’Aversa is also expected to do without Ebuehi and Esposito: the two are unlikely to recover for the Nerazzurri. Behind the first forward Colombo will act Fazzini and former Roma player Solbakken, in midfield instead the ballot is between Anjorin and Henderson.
Three unavailable for Inzaghi in Tuscany: no go for Calhanoglu but also for Carlos Augusto and Acerbi. In midfield, Zielinski’s confirmation is certain after his double on a penalty against Juventus: the one who could suffer is Frattesi, in the hierarchies behind Barella and Mkhitaryan.

The Prediction
Empoli at the “Castellani” stopped Juventus and Fiorentina at 0-0 and made Conte’s Napoli suffer, who against the Azzurri came out on top thanks to a penalty kick. In our opinion, it will not be an easy afternoon for Inter either, which however a favorable tradition in the Tuscan town (the last defeat is dated 2006): we predict a narrow victory for the Nerazzurri, in a match of less than 4 goals overall.
