Inter get ready to welcome Juventus for something different than the ordinary league football: The Coppa Italia Semi-finals leg 1 of 2.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Inter form and stats
Inter participated in Coppa Italia the last season, where they reached the semi-finals and lost against Napoli.This stadium, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, has been a fortress for Inter in the Serie A so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-1-1. After failing to beat Parma here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Inter has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with seven wins in a row.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Inter, as their goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has completely shut out the opponents for 274 minutes in the Serie A.
A nice win for Inter last time playing, versus Benevento. That was also a home game and the match ended 4-0 with Romelu Lukaku (2) and Lautaro Martínez scoring for the victors. Ahead of that match, Inter won a home game hosting Milan (2-1).
As mentioned above, Inter "killed" Benevento in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Inter as they are travelling to their away game against Fiorentina in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
