Inter take on the visitors AC Milan in the second leg of Coppa Italia Semifinals. First leg result: 1-1. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 23rd at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Inter remain consistently strong under Inzaghi. Last season, they were in a league of their own — not only winning the Scudetto, but doing so with a massive points margin. This season hasn’t been quite so clear-cut. They lost the Supercoppa — and ironically, it was Milan who beat them. Serie A has been tighter, though Inter still lead the way, with only Napoli under Conte looking capable of catching them. After dropping points against Bologna, they were momentarily level at the top. Still, their Champions League campaign has been impressive. They topped their group, swept past Feyenoord in the round of 16, and managed a hard-fought draw at home against Bayern after beating them in Munich. The team’s depth and experience have played a key role in keeping them competitive on all fronts.

Milan are arguably more motivated at this stage. Under Pioli, the Rossoneri became genuine contenders again. He led them to a Scudetto, and last season they finished second — just behind Inter. But the board made a long-anticipated coaching change, which has not gone as planned. Paulo Fonseca struggled from the start, and by New Year, the Portuguese coach was sacked. His replacement, countryman Sérgio Conceição, began with a bang, beating Inter to lift the Supercoppa. However, the bounce didn’t last — Milan crashed out of the Champions League at the first knockout hurdle against Feyenoord and have had inconsistent domestic form. Their recent 2-3 loss to Atalanta showed defensive fragility. The cup now represents their best shot at silverware, especially after eliminating Sassuolo and Roma en route to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the semi-final against Inter.
The Rossoneri have had the upper hand in this season’s derbies. They took 4 of 6 points in Serie A, won the Supercoppa, and the first leg of the semi-final ended in a 1-1 draw. It’s time for the Nerazzurri to win at least one derby this season. Back them to do it in regular time.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
