While in the current year, Empoli has won only one match, which was a couple of weeks ago 3-2 against Napoli, which is why they dropped to 14th place with 37 points, although they are very close to salvation.

In the most recent game they defeated Udinese 2-1 as visitors, but in midweek they will have a key game for the final of the Coppa Italia where they will play against Juventus, so this game was moved forward to Friday.

Inter Milan are in the all or nothing game in the last few games and cannot afford to drop points, especially at home. This Friday they will host Empoli in Serie A. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario looks set to have a busy afternoon, so he could be instrumental in making saves to keep his team on the board and, why not, think about taking all three points away.

The Argentine Lautaro Martinez has been synonymous with scoring goals and many of them for the points, which is why he will have to continue with his goal-scoring quota to put the Black-and-whites on the road to another title in Italy.

Despite having won only one of its last five games, Empoli has secured its stay in the top flight and what it can achieve in the remainder of the tournament will be an incentive for everyone, noting that this type of club is known for making many changes to its squad after each season.

Inter Milan had the championship in their hands, but the defeat a week ago against Bologna deprived them of that freedom, which is why they must not let any more points slip away and wait for AC Milan to stumble in order to take the top of the Italian championship.

The Inter vs Empoli match will be played at the San Siro Stadium, in Milan, Italy. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:45 pm ET.
