If Inter reach the Italian Cup final they will have done it the hard way. They host league leaders Milan in the quarter finals with the winners taking on Juventus or SPAL in the last four. Inter could only draw at Udinese, while Milan lost 3-0 at home to Atalanta. They have been in good form in recent months and in 14 league and cup games have only been beaten once. That was at Sampdoria at the start of this year. Since then they have won two and drawn two in all competitions. Home form has seen just win five and draw one of their last six games. In Serie A, the only team to beat them in nine games has been Milan. To reach this quarter final, Inter have beaten Fiorentina in the last round, thanks to a 119th minute Romelu Lukaku goal. 

Milan top the table by a couple of points but have been showing a little fragility in recent weeks. Two of their last four league games have been lost, both at home and conceding three goals in each match. Away form continues to be strong though, especially in terms of how many goals they score. Milan have gone 22 away games without defeat, since losing at Inter in February of last year. They have scored at least twice in all but two of their last 20 away fixtures in all competitions. They qualified for this match against Inter with a penalty shoot-out home win over Torino. Strong line-ups are expected to be played and the best bet here is on both teams to score.
