National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Inter or Milan that keep their silverware dream alive.
The Derby della Madonnina, also known as the Derby di Milano, is a football match between the two Milanese clubs Internazionale and Milan. Previously, Inter was seen as the club of the upperclass, while Milan was the choice of the workers. Today these differences are erased, but the cross-town rivalry in football remains intense. These two teams share their stadium San Siro, removing home advantage.
It's no vacation for neither Inter nor Milan as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Last season, Inter's Coppa Italia journey ended in the semi-finals against Napoli.Inter are steadily winning Serie A games and points here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat is the summary from 9 games.
