The Milan-Inter derby always guarantees a spectacle on the pitch regardless of the moment the two teams are in. This time the super challenge comes on the eve of the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and is eagerly awaited not only in Italy but also beyond. On Wednesday evening, the two teams will take to the pitch for the first leg of the semi-final in a San Siro packed with fans.
Inter is clearly better than Milan on paper, but in such derby matches, there is no favorite and both teams will give everything to take a step towards qualifying for the final. The Blues have won the Coppa Italia 9 times in history while Inzaghi has won it 3 times in his career. The task will not be easy at all as the absences of Lautaro, Dumfries, Tarem and Zielinski are certain due to injury while Asllani will not be there as he is suspended. Inter is in the fight for all three trophies, so it is expected that Inzaghi will not tolerate anything at this end of the season.
A completely different situation is presented at Milan, which after the weekend defeat to Napoli, has gone beyond any objective and the only goal now for the Rossoneri is the Italian Cup as the only salvation of the season. The devil is missing the usual, Loftus Cheek and Emerson Royal, while Caw and Leao Jane are in doubt. The rest is at the disposal of the Portuguese technician.
Wednesday's derby will be the fourth this season between Milan and Inter. The Blues are looking for their first success against their red and black rivals. The Milanese have won twice, including the Super Cup final, while the last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Milan-Inter match will be played on Wednesday evening from 21:00.
