INTERMILLAN VS AC MILLAN.

AC Milan and Inter’s Coppa Italia first-leg clash last month barely featured a clear-cut chance, as two giants of the Italian game played out a cagey encounter at San Siro. As a result, it’s all to play for in Tuesday’s second leg, but the recent form of both Simone Inzaghi’s Nerazzurri and Stefano Piolo’s Rossoneri suggests we could see more of the same in this decisive meeting.

After that first leg, Inter were on a five-match winless run and looked likely to drop out of Serie A contention, but Inzaghi’s men have since rebounded to trail Milan by just a single point, having played a game fewer. Inter have seen under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games, and have kept six clean sheets in their last nine matches, with their solid streak keeping them in the hunt for a domestic double.

Likewise, a Milan side renowned for their energetic, high-pressing style in the early stages of the season have relied on their defensive rigidity to retain top spot in Serie A in recent weeks. Milan have kept a remarkable seven consecutive clean sheets, a run which began with that first-leg stalemate with Inter, although Pioli’s men have only netted five goals in that time, and are missing the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic with Olivier Giroud not scoring in five games.
