Internazionale and Juventus are vying for the Coppa Italia title and will face off, with Inter hosting the first leg of the semi final on Tuesday. Hosts Inter beat Serie A rivals Milan 2-1 in a feisty clash to book their place here while Juventus had a rather easier route, beating SPAL 4-0. This will be the second meeting between these two Italian giants this season. In the Serie A meeting, Inter won 2-0, registering their first win over Juve since 2016. Inter are gunning for a double this season and they are not too far away from that. For the moment though, the target is securing a first leg advantage here. They are unbeaten in six matches, and have lost just one of the last 16 matches. Defensively, they have really shown improvement in recent matches and have three clean sheets in the last five matches. Romelu Lukaku has been delivering the goals upfront, and in the last five matches he has four. The team has scored two or more goals in four of the last five matches and coming from a 4-0 win over Benevento gives them confidence. Inter have just one loss, and four wins in their last six Coppa Italia matches.

Juventus have won all the four matches played after their 2-0 loss to Inter and all these have come with clean sheets. They have two losses in 22 matches, and 17 wins in the process, which should give them the psychological edge needed for such a game. Consistency in their scoring will also be key, with the team having scored two or more in eight of the last 10 games. The loss to Inter is Juventus’ only one in the last 13 away matches while their only loss in the Coppa Italia in the last seven matches came on post match penalties. Cristiano Ronaldo remains the star man for Juventus but he has been silent lately. He hasn’t scored in the last three matches and has just one goal in the last five matches. That’s not to rule him out though; he is a big game player and needs no invitation to blow.
