Serie A 2024-2025: Inter-Empoli, the probable formations

Inter-Empoli closes the Sunday program of the 21st day of Serie A, with the teams taking the field at the Meazza Stadium in San Siro at 8:45 pm. A win would allow Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri to respond to Napoli’s victory on the field of Atalanta, bringing them back to -3 in the standings with a game still to be made up (the one against Fiorentina). The Tuscans, however, need points: after the recent string of defeats interspersed by the only point snatched from Venezia, the relegation zone è now only +1.

L'Inter è still struggling with some absences, and Simone Inzaghi will propose some more rotation among his starters. The two most important ones concern Calhanoglu and Thuram, respectively replaced by Asllani (with Mkhitaryan recovered) in midfield and Taremi up front. Acerbi, summoned, is not yet at his best: in defense, veteran De Vrij should still find room.

Mirror formation for Empoli at San Siro, with Roberto D'Aversa ready to fill the midfield with men to try to stem the fearsome Inter. Grassi will maneuver, with Henderson and Fazzini assisting him and the Gyasi-Pezzella duo on the flanks. In attack there'è also the former Esposito along with Colombo, behind Viti ahead of Cacace.

Inter-Empoli, the probable lineups:

INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Taremi, Lautaro Martinez. All. Inzaghi.
EMPOLI (3-5-2): Vasquez; Goglichidze, Ismajli, Viti; Gyasi, Fazzini, Grassi, Henderson, Pezzella; Esposito, Colombo. All. D'Aversa.
