Empoli’s start to the season has not been easy, with games against Juventus and a resurgent Hellas Verona before the AS Roma debacle. But they have not looked like scoring a goal so far and need something to change very quickly. Andreazzoli may shuffle his pack following their nightmarish visit to Rome last week as he looks to impose his authority on an underconfident squad. He could revert to a 4-3-1-2 this weekend and could hand Filippo Ranocchia a start in midfield. Etrit Berisha should start in goal behind the back four of Bartosz Bereszynski, Sebastian Walukiewicz, Sebastiano Luperto, and Giuseppe Pezzella.
They have had back-to-back 14th-place finishes. However, the hosts’ humiliating 7-0 defeat against AS Roma off the back of a horrible start to the season cost Zanetti his job, which led the club to appoint Andreazzoli as their head coach for the fourth time. Having suffered four defeats out of four so far this season, conceding 12 goals, and failing to find the net even once, they find themselves sitting rock-bottom in the Serie A table ahead of this weekend’s games. A visit from Inter is probably the last thing new boss Andreazzoli needs at this moment in time.
Author of a high-class goal last weekend in the Madonnina derby, Marcus Thuram (2 goals and 2 assists in SA) has already put fans in his pocket. He forms an explosive offensive duo with Argentine world champion Lautaro Martinez (5 goals and 1 assist in SA), scorer against Real Sociedad this week. Inter has the best attack and the best defense in the championship. Inter are enjoying an incredible run of success on their top-flight travels, stringing together eight wins on the spin at the highest level of the Serie A. Empoli, have found the going somewhat harder on their own patch of late, suffering four consecutive defeats in which they have conceded 12 goals.
Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram have sparked up a solid partnership in attack for Inter Milan, and both men will be worth keeping an eye on. Thuram was on target last time out, while Martinez has five Serie A goals. Both will be rubbing their hands at the prospect of adding to their respective tallies up against a leaky Empoli backline. Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, A. Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram Key Stats Inter Milan have won 16 of their last 19 matches against Empoli in all competitions. Inter Milan have kept a clean sheet in their last nine away matches against Empoli in all competitions. Empoli are the only side in the Italian top-flight this season yet to score a single league goal. Inter Milan are the highest-scoring side in Serie A this season, with a goal tally of 13.
Jacopo Fazzini, Razvan Marin, and Bastoni should start as the midfield trio, aiming to quell Inter’s numerical advantage in the middle of the park. Tommaso Baldanzi is likely to be deployed in an attacking role, primarily as the playmaker behind strikers Francesco Caputo and Nicolo Cambiaghi, who will be desperate to open the club’s goal account for the season. Probable Lineup (4-3-1-2): Berisha; Bereszynski, Walukiewicz, Luperto, Pezzella; Fazzini, Marin, Ranocchia; Baldanzi; Caputo, Cambiaghi Inter Milan Inter boss Simone Inzaghi has no new injury concerns. And with Stefano Sensi and Juan Cuadrado the visitors’ likely absentees, both could return to the fold in next Wednesday’s game against Sassuolo. Inzaghi will need to get his squad rotations right ahead of a highly-congested schedule in the upcoming weeks. He will likely recall a number of familiar faces at Stadio Carlo Castellani.
Empoli vs Inter Prediction & Betting Tips (24 September)Maintained without much difficulty during the two previous years, Empoli is however struggling at the start of the season. Not at the level, the team simply occupies the last place in Serie A with 0 points on the clock and no goals scored after 4 days. Playmaker Baldanzi's teammates lost to Hellas Verona 0-1, Monza 2-0, Juventus 0-2 and Roma last weekend 7-0. These poor results and the latest rout led to the dismissal of coach Paolo Zanetti, replaced by Aurelio Andreazzoli who has already made two stints on the club's bench 2017/2018 and 2021/2022.

Marko Arnautovic and Kristjan Asllani failed to make a mark on their first starts of the season in midweek and could both be dropped here, with Asllani dropping out in favour of injury returnee Hakan Calhanoglu, who will sit in front of the backline, with Nicolo Barella and Davide Frattesi on either side of the Turk. Commentate con un 😁 per Denzel 👇#ForzaInter pic. com/HkiEOowwdy — Inter (@Inter) September 22, 2023 Inter have also been solid at the back, and with Empoli struggling for goals lately, they will be targeting a shutout. Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni have impressed at the back and can continue in the visitors’ back three alongside Benjamin Pavard, who made his club debut in San Sebastian.

Team News and Tactics Empoli 🎥💪 Friday Training pic. twitter. com/28ffMEoYqP — Empoli Football Club Official (@EmpoliFC) September 22, 2023 Two summer signings, Elia Caprile, on loan from Napoli, and Daniel Maldini, on loan from AC Milan, remain out injured for this weekend’s visit of Inter. Aurelio Andreazzoli might have returned to the club, but he has a tough task on his hands.
For this meeting, Empoli must still do without goalkeeper No. 1 Caprile, injured. Furthermore, young attacking midfielder Daniel Maldini (son of Paolo) is still uncertain this weekend. Injured during preparation, he has not yet played a single minute in his new colors. In the tough at the start of the season, Empoli has not yet scored and remains in a rout against Roma (7 goals conceded). The new coach Andreazzoli will make his first choices and should rely on the promising winger Cambiaghi. Like this week in the Champions League, the Inter coach deplores the withdrawals of midfielder Calhanoglou and the experienced full-back who arrived this summer Cuadrado (ex-Juventus). In the absence of Calhanoglou, summer recruit Frattesi (ex-Sassuolo) could start in midfield alongside Barella and Mkhitaryan.
One of those two defeats did come at the San Siro last season, however, Inter won 3-0 when these sides last met at the Stadio Carlo Castellani. Empoli FormEmpoli have begun the Serie A season in disastrous form, with no points collected from their first four matches of the season. While not only pointless, the Gli Azzurri have yet to score while conceding 12 goals in successive losses against Verona (1-0), Monza (2-0), Juventus (2-0) and Roma (7-0). Paul Zanetti´s side also suffered a first-round Coppa Italia exit against Citadella in August. Empoli Team NewsPaulo Sousa has no new injury concerns ahead of Sunday´s Serie A contest. However, the Portuguese boss remains unable to call on the services of Elia Caprile, Daniel Maldini and Matteo Cancellieri. Inter Milan FormInter have made a perfect start to their Serie A campaign with a 100% record from four games played.
