Empoli welcome Inter Milan to the Stadio Carlo Castellani in Serie A on Sunday (April 23).
The hosts are winless in two games and are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Cremonese last week. Cyriel Dessers' fourth-minute strike proved to be the difference. Inter, meanwhile, have endured a poor run recently, going winless in five games, losing four. They fell to a shocking 1-0 home defeat to Monza last time around.
Inter played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in midweek against Benfica to reach the last four for the first time since the 2009-10 campaign.
