Inter and Milan are looking for a place in the final

Separated by just two points at the top of the Serie A table, Inter and Milan continued their match against the Coppa for a place in the final.

Both teams want to find goals missing in the first leg of the ‘semis’ to advance to the round and inadvertently send a message to their rival citizens. What happens in this derby could mark the future of the season, especially when the two are also fighting for the league title.

Likely lineups:

Inter: Handanović; De Vrij, Skriniar, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic; Lautaro Martinez, Dzeko
the
theMilan: Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Bennacer; Junior Messias, Kessie, Leao; giroud
the
Referee: Maurizio Mariani
the
stadium: San Siro

The match for Serie A is parked before the possibility of reaching a final. At Inter, Lautaro will return to ‘eleven’ after an early break against Spezia, while Milan have had defensive problems over defeats by Kjaer and Romagnoli and the suspicion of Calabria. Ibra will not arrive on time either.

Inter need success to achieve, as any tie with goals will qualify Milan. His coach, Simone Inzaghi, has yet to win a Milan derby, so today’s victory would break this statistic in the best possible way.

The Italian revealed that he deliberately prepared for this duel. “We know the importance of the challenge, what it represents for the fans and the club. We have come away with three consecutive victories and we are preparing the game very well,” he said.

For his part, Stefano Pioli defined the pressure of the fight. “Is the pressure increasing? It’s always like this now. There is a final at stake and in the championship we will always win to fight to the end. But I see a very focused and motivated team”, he stressed.
