With the most recent penalty issued to Juventus, it seems like Inter Milan and AC Milan remain the last two title contenders with semi-realistic chances to catch up with the current leaders Napoli.
Reigning Serie A champions from last year are going to wrap up the Monday action in front of the home fans at Giuseppe Meazza against Empoli. Visitors have been one of the toughest teams to predict in the last couple of weeks. They even got close to the upper half of the table after last week’s narrow win against Sampdoria. Is there any room for upset here?

Inter Milan vs Empoli Betting Tips (Live on BT Sport)
This is going to be the first head-to-head clash between these two opponents in the 2022/23 campaign. Nerazzurri were way more successful in the previous term. Not only they were victorious against Empoli in both league games 4-2 and 2-0 but also eliminated The Blues from Coppa Italia. The last time visitors celebrated victory against Inter Milan was all the way back in 2006.
There was only one small hiccup for Simone Inzaghi and his men in 2023 so far. They kicked off with a huge 1-0 victory against Napoli on 4th January, followed by a disappointing 2-2 draw against Monza. It seems like that match was a good lesson for Inter’s back line as they kept two clean sheets in a row against Hellas Verona and AC Milan. Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko have been a deadly duo lately, scoring a total of six goals in the last five games.

Empoli’s Defense Doesn’t Stand a Chance against In-Form Nerazzurri
Team Empoli was defeated by Inter Milan ten times in their last eleven head-to-head encounters. We are predicting another one-sided match on Monday evening in Milano, of course in favor of the hosts. Inter Milan has picked up a fantastic rhythm after the World Cup 2022 so they shouldn’t have any trouble against the team which won only one out of nine appearances on the road.
Nerazzurri have a brilliant record of eight wins in nine home games with a stunning goal difference of 21-4. We will back them to win both halves against Empoli at 15/8 with Betfair Sportsbook. A bit more adventurous punters can also try with a 3-0 correct score at 7/1 with a small stake.

Lautaro Martinez Enjoys Playing Against This Opponent
As mentioned above, Lautaro Martinez has been terrorizing goalkeepers across Italy in the last couple of weeks. After becoming the World Champion recently, this 25-years old striker returned to the club with huge confidence and scored four goals in the last four games for Inter Milan.
His name appeared on the score sheet twice in last season’s duel against Empoli, helping the team earn a 4-2 victory. Our second pick is going to be Martinez to score two goals or more at 4/1. He and Calhanoglu are switching for the position of Inter’s penalty taker, which is another plus here.
