Inter vs. Empoli, the complete guide

At 20:45 CEST on Monday 1 April, Inter will face Empoli on matchday 30 in Serie A. Ahead of the match, we delve into some fun facts and stats.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

The Nerazzurri have faced Empoli 31 times in Serie A: Inter have 24 wins to their name compared to the Azzurri's four, with three draws completing the picture. Inter have lost just two of their last 20 matches against Empoli in Serie A. Furthermore, the Nerazzurri have kept ten clean sheets in their last 15 encounters with the Tuscans in the Italian top flight. In the reverse fixture this campaign, Inzaghi's men came out on top thanks to a wonderful Dimarco finish.

NERAZZURRI NUMBERS

The Nerazzurri's brilliant form in the league this season is reflected by the numbers. Inter have conceded just 14 times in 29 league fixtures in 2023/24: the last team to have had a better defensive record at this stage of a Serie A campaign were AC Milan (in 1993/94). Across the top five European divisions, Inter are the only team to have scored in every single one of their league fixtures this campaign, while they've also shipped the fewest number of goals.

THE CAPTAIN'S STATS

Lautaro Martínez has enjoyed an extraordinary season, scoring 23 goals in 26 matches so far. The Nerazzurri captain has found the net three times against Empoli in the Italian top flight, including a brace on 6 May 2022. The Argentinian striker, who has bagged nine times on home soil this Serie A campaign, has the opportunity to reach double goalscoring figures at San Siro for a fourth consecutive season in the competition.

THE DIMARCO SHOW

Federico Dimarco has sweet memories of facing Empoli: the Nerazzurri wing-back made his Serie A debut against the Azzurri on 31 May 2015. Furthermore, he scored the winning goal with a stunning strike in the reverse fixture this season. The Italian continues to display all his technical qualities: he's one of four defenders with at least ten goal contributions across the top five European divisions in 2023/24.

GOALSCORING DEFENDERS

This is a team whose backline also contributes in attack. Following Matteo Darmian's goal in Inter's last Serie A outing against Napoli, five Nerazzurri defenders have now scored at least twice this league campaign: Dimarco 4, Dumfries 3, Bisseck 2, Acerbi 2 and Darmian 2. In this regard, no side across the top five European divisions has done better in 2023/24.
