Tooor for Empoli FC, 0-1 thanks to Andrea Pinamonti
Dream start for the underdog! Kristjan Asllani makes a few meters on the right flank. He plays the ball sharply halfway into the penalty area. There Andrea Pinamonti escaped his guard Milan Škriniar and pushed the ball over the line from six meters.

The guests from Empoli must not underestimate the hosts. With a 3-2 win over SSC Napoli on matchday 34, they virtually ensured that they only had a small chance of winning the championship. However, this was again the only win in the past 18 league games. Most recently they lost against de FC Turin with 1:3. Coach Aurelio Andreazzoli makes five changes. Petar Stojanović, Valerio Verre (both suspended), Mattia Viti, Liam Henderson and Federico Di Francesco (all bench) drop out of the starting XI. Simone Romagnoli, Riccardo Fiamozzi, Leo Štulac, Nedim Bajrami and Filippo Bandinelli begin.

Last weekend Inter defeated Udinese Calcio 2-1 away. Ivan Perišić and Lautaro Martínez put today’s hosts ahead in the first half. In the 72nd minute, Udinese made it exciting again. Simone Inzaghi changed the starting grid to three positions. Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Joaquín Correa will start for Matteo Darmian, Roberto Gagliardini and Edin Džeko (all bench).

In the catch-up game against FC Bologna, Inter missed the opportunity to overtake city rivals AC Milan and take the top spot in the table. Simone Inzaghi’s side are therefore still in second place after both championship contenders won their matches last matchday. So the race for the title is still open. Inter have the opportunity to play today because AC only play against Hellas Verona on Sunday. The guests from Empoli are almost certain to stay up with nine points ahead of the relegation zone.
