Serie A leaders Inter Milan will look to take another step closer to the title when they host an Empoli side that’s perilously close to the relegation zone. Ahead of this match at the San Siro on Monday, the hosts are at the at the top of the table with 76 points, while the visitors are 17th with 25 points. Inter’s nearest rival is AC Milan, who are 14 points behind. With 24 points on offer, a win here will take the Nerazzurri closer to that target. Their last match before the international break was a 1-1 draw with Napoli, which was preceded by a 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Inter would be keen to get back to winning ways and make it an 11th win out of 12 league matches. San Siro has witnessed similar form, with Inter winning nine of their last ten home league games.

Empoli remain just outside the relegation zone, currently on goal difference with Frosinone. The situation in the bottom half is very tight, with teams from 13th to 18th separated by just three points. Empoli can’t risk sliding into the relegation zone, but their recent form has been in the doldrums. They lost three consecutive matches by a 1-0 score, going into the international break. This run of results obliterated a six-game unbeaten run stitched together just before these defeats. With all those three defeats coming without scoring, Empoli will have some work to do on their scoring record. At least there’s hope they can change that on this road trip, as Empoli have scored in four of their last five away league games.
