Empoli vs. Inter 10/27/21 Serie A Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Empoli is welcoming Inter to Carlo Castellani in round 10 of the Italian Serie A. Empoli has improved since the start of the season, but they are still far from securing their Serie A spot. Inter hasn’t lost in their last 2 games, but they couldn’t beat Juventus this past weekend at home.

At the moment, Empoli is in a surprisingly high 9^th place in the Serie A table, but their defense might prevent them from staying there for much longer. Empoli has conceded 18 goals in 9 games, but the good news is they have been scoring a solid number of goals, 14 in total. Against Salernitana this past weekend, Empoli has had 40% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 2 corner kicks, 5 big chances created, and 78% of the correct passes. Even though Empoli has conceded 2 goals in the second half, they were impressive with 4 scored goals in the first half, and that was enough for a 2-4 win on the road. Romagnoli and Fiamozzi are injured. Pinamonti is the leading goalscorer for Empoli at the moment. I think Empoli can definitely secure their Serie A spot, but at the moment, they are playing above their capabilities, and they will come crashing down.

Inter was a bit sloppy lately, but they are scoring goals consistently. In the Champions League, Inter has 4 points, and they are now in 3^rd place but till close to Real and Sheriff Tiraspol. As far as Serie A goes, Inter is in 3^rd place with 18 points, and they are the best offensive team in the league, which always comes in handy. In that game against Juventus, Inter has had 49% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 81% of the correct passes. Inter has started this game great, and they were ahead in the 17^th minute. Inter has also had more chances in this game, but they weren’t able to score another goal. Unfortunately for Inter, they conceded a penalty kick in the 85^th minute, they conceded a goal, and the final score of this match was 1-1. The biggest problem for Inter right now is that Brozovic doesn’t wanna sign a new contract, which means they will be forced to sell him in January. Dzeko has scored 7 goals for Inter so far, while Martinez added 5 goals. Barella has 5 assists. Inter must keep winning games now if they want to keep up with Napoli and Milan in Serie A, but they also need a win to advance past the group stage in the Champions League, and I think they will focus on that.

In the 24 games between these two teams, Empoli has beaten Inter only twice, and that was a while ago. Inter is in better form, they are the better team with more quality and depth. I see Inter prevail in this game, and I think it will be quite easy.
