Saturday 7th May 2016 – Kickoff: 1800hrs
Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
This match appears to be something of a ‘nothing’ match with hosts and fourth placed Inter Milan already having secured a Europa League spot for next season, while Empoli are not threatening either a european spot or in any danger of being relegated.
Having said that, Inter will be keen to bounce back this Saturday following a disappointing 2-0 loss away at Lazio last Sunday which put paid to any last lingering hopes of overhauling third placed Roma into the Champions League qualifying spot.
Inter possess a fairly solid-looking home record of 12-2-4 27/14 at their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza which has seen the home side win seven of their last eight on home turf. In addition, Inter Milan have kept 9 clean sheets from their 18 home matches to date, while their record at home against bottom half opposition stands at an impressive 7-1-1 19/7.
Visitors Empoli have registered just two league wins from their last 17 matches overall which has prevented them from making any kind of inroads into the top half of Serie A and they sit accordingly in a slightly disappointing league position of 12th place.
To make matters worse, these two wins were both recorded on home turf at their Stadio Carlo Castellani ground with victories over Fiorentina and Hellas Verona while their away performances have been found wanting throughout most of the season, particularly in recent weeks.
Empoli have lost their last five away matches on the trot with defeats at Sassuolo, Genoa, Juventus, Lazio and Carpi – scoring just 2 goals for and conceding 8 in reply. Their away record currently stands at 5-4-9 17/27.
Inter will be looking to finish off in style in their final home match of the season here.
