Inter vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Coppa Italia betting tips on match 2025-04-22 19:00.
[p]Inter Milan’s lead at the Serie A summit disappeared at the weekend thanks to a 1-0 defeat at Bologna. Fighting on three fronts is perhaps taking a toll, but the Nerazzurri have no time to rest as they face arch-rivals AC Milan on Wednesday in this Coppa Italia semi-final second leg after a 1-1 draw in the first leg earlier this month. And with a crucial league game against Roma and a UEFA Champions League semi-final meeting with Barcelona on the horizon, this is a pivotal week in their season. [/p]
[p]Not only are Inter chasing their tenth Coppa Italia crown, but they will want to improve on an indifferent run of form in their last six matches (W2, D3, L1). Head coach Simone Inzaghi must also address his side’s poor recent record in the Derby della Madonnina, with Inter having failed to win any of the last four H2Hs (D2, L2) for the first time since a ten-game winless sequence between November 2002 and April 2005. [/p]
[p]Milan are also coming off a 1-0 loss against Atalanta at San Siro on Sunday, with that a fifth defeat in ten matches across all competitions (W3, D2). That left the Rossoneri six points shy of the Serie A top six, so the Rossoneri’s best chance of guaranteeing themselves a place in Europe next season is through Coppa Italia success, even if they have not lifted the trophy since 2003![/p]
[p]Playing at San Siro has not worked to Milan’s advantage recently, with just one win in their last six matches at their iconic stadium (D3, L2). It’s no wonder the Milan faithful have grown tired of their side’s misfortunes, and further disappointment could be on the way given that they’ve been eliminated in the semi-finals of this competition twice in the previous four seasons, losing to Inter on both occasions![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Hakan Çalhanoğlu scored the equaliser for Inter in the first leg, with that his third goal against former employers Milan since joining the Nerazzurri. Tammy Abraham has also enjoyed success in the derby, netting Milan’s last goal of the match in the two most recent H2Hs in cup competitions (W1, D1).[/p]
[p]Hot streak: The last six H2Hs have seen both teams score.[/p]
