Juventus and Inter have not yet discovered who is cooler
The leaders of Serie A met in the most important match of the day: Juventus hosted Inter. However, they didn’t provide much entertainment: they scored a goal and called it a day. And in terms of expected goals scored, the picture is completely dismal: 0.49 xG versus 0.85 xG.
Everything happened in the first half. In the 27th minute, Federico Chiesa broke into the area from the left wing and crossed for Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian did not disappoint and sent the ball into Jan Sommer’s goal. Six minutes later, the black and blue responded with a precise shot (also in touch) from Lautaro Martínez, who responded to a pass from Marcus Thuram.

While the favorites faced each other and discovered which of them played the most boring, “Empoli” and “Sasuollo” starred in a true thriller. If someone, after watching the match between Juventus and Inter, says that Serie A is boring, tell them about the battle of more modest teams.
Francesco Caputo put the hosts ahead with a penalty in the fourth minute. 18 minutes passed and the score was already 1:2! The goals were scored by Andrea Pinamonti and Matheus Enrique. After another eight minutes, Jacopo Fazzini felt that a draw would be fairer and he tied the score. Already halfway through the second half, Domenico Berardi restored Sasuollo’s lead from 11 meters, but in the 88th minute Viktor Kovalenko scored Empoli’s third goal. 3:3? No! Berardi achieved victory for the guests in added time!
The Blues missed the chance to escape the relegation zone and were left with 10 points. However, Cagliari has the same number from 17th place and the whole fight for survival is ahead. The black and greens, for their part, added 15 points and now feel comfortable in the middle of the table.
