Inter Milan, Empoli Prepare for Serie A Showdown

Empoli is set to face Inter Milan in a crucial Serie A match, with both teams needing a strong result for different reasons. Empoli will see the return of key players Jacopo Fazzini and goalkeeper Devis Vazquez to the starting lineup, while Sebastiano Esposito will also start against his parent club, Inter. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi is implementing squad rotation, with Carlos Augusto replacing the rested Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard making his first start in nearly two months. The match is particularly important for Inter, who are under pressure to keep pace with Napoli following their recent win. Empoli, while currently midtable, is also wary of slipping into the relegation zone if they don't secure points. The tactical formation for Empoli remains uncertain, with options for either a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-2-1 setup.
