Recent home/away form

Empoli

Empoli's recent home form has been characterised by a remarkable series of low-scoring matches and defensive solidity. The team have recorded three consecutive 0-0 draws in Serie A, showcasing their ability to frustrate even top-tier opponents like Juventus and Fiorentina. However, their attacking prowess at home has been lacking, with only one goal scored in their last five home league matches. The standout performance came in the Coppa Italia, where they convincingly defeated Catanzaro 4-1, providing a glimpse of their offensive potential. Despite their mid-table league position, Empoli's home games have been notably tight affairs, with 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in only 17% of encounters. Their defensive resilience is further highlighted by three clean sheets in their last six home games, although they've struggled to convert this into wins.

Inter Milan

Inter Milan's recent away form has been impressive, with the Nerazzurri currently on a three-match winning streak on the road. Their defensive prowess is evident, having kept three clean sheets in their last six away fixtures, including a notable goalless draw against Manchester City in the Champions League. The team's offensive output has been consistent, scoring in five of their six recent away matches, with a particularly thrilling 3-2 victory over Udinese showcasing their attacking capabilities. Inter have demonstrated resilience, avoiding defeat in all six of their latest away games, with three consecutive draws followed by three straight wins. Their goal difference of +3 and an average of 2.17 total goals per game suggest that Inter's away matches have been competitive and relatively close affairs, with two-thirds of these games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals.
