Inter Milan v AC Milan Prediction & Tips – Coppa Italia Semi-Final
Wednesday | 19:00 UTC | San Siro | Coppa Italia
Inter Milan and AC Milan clash once again at the San Siro on Wednesday night, with everything still to play for in this second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. The two Milan giants played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg, and another tense encounter is expected under the lights.
Inter Aim to Bounce Back at the San Siro
Despite suffering a surprise 1-0 defeat at Bologna in Serie A over the weekend, Inter still sit top of the table- albeit only on goal difference. That defeat ended a 13-game unbeaten run across all competitions, but Simone Inzaghi’s side remain in contention for a treble this season.
Inter have been sharp in front of goal, scoring 9 in their last 5 matches. However, clean sheets have been hard to come by, with none recorded during that stretch. Their attacking output is still among the best in Italy, and they’ll be confident they can find the breakthrough on home turf.
Milan Struggling for Form
AC Milan haven’t had the same momentum in recent weeks. A 1-0 defeat to Atalanta at the weekend left them further adrift of the European qualification spots in Serie A. That result also means they’ve now gone winless in 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions.
Their 4-0 win at Udinese earlier this month showed their potential on the road, but defensive issues persist. Milan have kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 10 outings. That could be a major concern against Inter’s firepower in a high-pressure cup fixture.
How the Bookies See It
Inter Milan are 1.98 favourites to win on the night, while AC Milan are priced at 3.70. A draw, which would send the match into extra time, is available at 3.45. Goals are expected again, with Over 2.5 Goals priced at 1.74 and Both Teams to Score also heavily backed at 1.63.
Head-to-Head: Inter Still Hold the Edge
Inter Milan have historically had the better of this rivalry, winning 20 of the last 44 encounters. That said, AC Milan are unbeaten in their last 4 meetings with their city rivals, including a 3-2 win in the Super Cup and the 1-1 draw in the first leg of this tie.
Players to Watch
Lautaro Martínez has been Inter’s talisman once again this season, netting 21 goals so far. He’s scored in 3 of his last 4 appearances and is 2.50 to score anytime. Tammy Abraham, meanwhile, has 4 goals in 3 Coppa Italia appearances and found the net in the first leg. He’s 3.60 to score again.
