The second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final between Inter and Milan will take place on April 23 at the San Siro Stadium. The first match ended in a 1-1 draw. Inter vs. Milan: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Inter
In the first match, Simone Inzaghi's side, despite having the upper hand, fell behind but managed to equalize. As a result, Inter conceded for the first time in the current Coppa Italia campaign and failed to score more than once. To reach their third national cup final in the last four seasons, the team must win.
- The team has not lost in regular time in their last 15 Coppa Italia matches (7 wins, 8 draws).
- The club has scored exactly one or two goals in 90 minutes in 9 of their last 10 matches in this tournament.
- Inter has not conceded more than one goal in regular time in their last nine national cup matches.
Predicted lineup for Inter (3-5-2)

Defender Denzel Dumfries, midfielder Piotr Zielinski, and forward Marcus Thuram will not play due to injuries.
Milan
Sergio Conceicao's side, after drawing in the first match, failed to win in regular time for the fifth time in their last eight Coppa Italia matches (3 draws, 2 losses). Meanwhile, Milan has scored ten goals in the current tournament – the best among all teams. To reach the final, the club must win. If the teams do not decide the winner in 90 minutes, a penalty shootout will be held. Notably, Milan last reached the national cup final in the 2017/18 season.

Inter vs. Milan: Match Prediction
Inter's traditionally strong attacking line usually performs at its best in cup matches. The team plays effectively up front and scores regularly: in their last 11 Coppa Italia matches, the club's players only failed to break through the opponent's defense once. Furthermore, in the last two head-to-head encounters in this tournament, Inter scored four goals.
For Milan, scoring goals is rarely a problem in cup matches. In just two recent national cup campaigns, the team has found the net 15 times in just five matches. However, their defense often suffers, regularly making costly mistakes: Milan's current streak of conceding goals in this tournament is seven matches.
I think both teams will play actively in attack and exchange goals. My prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
