The Neradzurri began 2025 with the draw of the Italian Super Cup. On 2 and 6 January, Inter played two matches - in the semi-final they beat Atalanta (0:2), and in the final they largely unexpectedly failed to cope with AC Milan. Moreover, Inzaghi's team conceded three goals from Rossoneri for the second half, and at the beginning of it led 2:0.
After returning from Saudi Arabia, where the Italian Super Cup was traditionally held, Inter were helped by the calendar, because in the championship match the Black and Blues faced a modest Venice. The Neradzurri led already in the opening game due to a goal by Mateo Darmian, and eventually kept the minimum advantage - 1:0.
But last Wednesday Inter failed to keep the winning score. At home, the reigning champion hosted Bologna, conceded first, led 2:1 before the break, Dumfries and Lautaro scored, but again allowed the opponent to get back in the middle of the second half. The result was 2:2. Inter are now in second place, three points behind Napoli, who lead the standings.
Empoli
The Blues can not boast any struggle for high places, but the season, in general, spend a decent season, although they lost momentum towards the end of the first half of the championship. The team are now on the 14th line in the Serie A table and are two points ahead of the relegation zone.
In the previous round Empoli unexpectedly lost to Lecce on their home field, conceding three goals from one of the worst attacks of this season - 1:3. This was the fourth defeat for the Tuscans in the last five matches, and Empoli have only one point.
