Inter Milan vs AC Milan Predictions and Betting Tips

The City of Milan stands still this Tuesday as Internazionale and AC Milan go head-to-head in the return leg of their Coppa Italian semifinal. Read on for our expr tips and predictions.

The game is finely poised as we head into the second half of this tie with both teams playing out a 0-0 draw in the first leg last month.

Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards

Internazionale, bidding to make it eight Coppa Italian triumphs in their history, head into this game unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions. Spezia was the last team to taste the Nerrazzurri's wrath as Simone Inzaghi and his charges celebrated a 3-1 victory- Brozovic, Lautaro and Alexis on the scoresheet. This would be their third straight league win and it puts them in second place with just two points separating them from their local rivals who have played a game more. Their attention would be on the Coppa Italia this week as they look to do one better than their semifinal exit at the hand of eventual champions Juventus at the tail end of last season. Standing in their way, however, is a side that has already beaten them this season.

Olivier Giroud was the major difference between the two sides when they clashed in the league back in February as the French world cup winner netted a late brace to secure all three points for his side. Stefano Pioli and his troops have dropped their intensity since the beginning of April with Bologna and Torino holding them to goalless draws. However, we saw them get back to winning ways last weekend against Genoa, albeit unconvincingly, courtesy of goals in either half from Rafael Leao and Junior Messias. It's been 19 years since Milan lifted the Coppa Italia trophy and given that they head into this game off the back of a 12-game unbeaten run, they would surely fancy their chances of securing a place in the final to face either Juventus or Fiorentina.
