If the league match between Milan and Napoli was a cagey affair, this will be even trickier with the winner advancing in the Cup. Napoli had Fabian Ruiz sent off late in the Saturday draw and heading to this game they will still feel they have what it takes to see off the clash. The draw with Milan was the fourth unbeaten outing for them in a row and holding on to a run of just two losses in the last 20 matches, they will be confident enough to take on Milan. However, they will need massive improvement of their away from in the Coppa Italia, as they have just two wins in 11 away matches in the tournament. Napoli are also unbeaten in nine matches against Milan and will hope they can make it a double digit; six of the 10 are wins. Milan have managed three wins in their last 10 matches but they have been improving defensively, with the last five matches having yielded three clean sheets while in their last 10  they have six. It will be a tough outing this one, seeing that Napoli have failed to score in three of their last five away matches and Milan have not conceded in the last three home matches in Coppa Italia. Head to head, the two sides have met 36 times now; Milan have 10 wins and Napoli 12.
