Inter Milan - Empoli FC ai prediction 06.05.2022 Serie A
Betting Tip for matchday 36 of the 2021/2022 Serie A between Inter Milan and Empoli FC.
With the battle for Serie A going down to the wire, Inter Milan welcome Empoli to San Siro this Friday evening cognizant of the fact that they can leapfrog their neighbors and title rivals AC Milan to the top of the pile with a win.
Coming into this matchday 36, Inter are 2nd on the log with 75 points, just two points behind AC Milan. Empoli meantime are in 14th place, well clear of the relegation zone.
This should be an interesting game by all accounts. We will explore a couple of betting tips today from Mybet.africa and Sahara Games.
INTER MILAN
The 2-1 loss to Bologna at the end of April put a serious dent on Inter’s title charge. They did however bounce back with a crucial 2-1 win away at Udinese last time out. Ivan Perisic and striker Lautaro Martinez scored in the first half to give them a 2-0 lead. Udinese made it interesting when they pulled one back in the 72nd minute but Inter desperately hung on to reduce the deficit at the top to just two points with three matches to play.
A win here will see them move to the top and put the pressure on AC Milan who will have a chance to reclaim the top slot when they visit Verona on Sunday. With Cagliari and Sampdoria their other remaining Serie A games for the season, Inter’s game plan will be to win them all and hope their neighbours will drop points in their remaining games.
The Nerazzurri have been solid at home, winning three of their last 4 league games at the San Siro. They will be looking to keep the streak going here to close the season on a high.
EMPOLI
Empoli’s return to Serie A has been a success by their standards. As a promoted side, the numero uno priority is always to survive relegation and for all intents and purposes, they have done just that. They are currently in 14th place on the table, 11 points clear of the relegation zone. Although they are not yet mathematically safe, it would take an incredible sequence of events for them to go down.
They come into this match off the back of a 3-1 loss at home to Torino. Strangely enough, their home form this season has been terrible but away from home they have been terrific with just 6 losses in their 17 away fixtures in the league this season.
Aurelio Andreazzoli’s side have had it rough against Inter, losing their last eight straight matches, including a 2-0 loss at home to them earlier in the season. They will be out to stop this bleeding.

INTER MILAN VS EMPOLI PREDICTIONS
Empoli have nothing to lose really and given their away form, they certainly have what it takes to make things a bit interesting here. With Inter desperately in need of a win, we can expect an open-ended encounter that is likely to yield quite a few goals. All of Inter’s last five home matches have witnessed at least three goals. We fancy Inter to win and at least 3 goals to be scored @ 1.44 with Sahara Games as our opening Serie A prediction.
Games of this nature where both teams are committed to attack often tend to have plenty of corners due to the action at the goalmouth on both ends. These teams have met twice this season, in the league and in Coppa Italia. Both of those meetings had at least 10 corners. Mybet.africa have this option priced @ 1.70 and we feel backing this as our last tip here would be a good betting strategy.
