Coppa Italia Derby Kicks Off Crucial Week for Inter

Coppa Italia Derby Kicks Off Crucial Week for Inter

Sports

Inter’s lead in Serie A vanished over the weekend following a 1-0 loss to Bologna. The battle on three fronts may be taking its toll, but the "Nerazzurri" have no time to rest as they face city rivals AC Milan tonight in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal, after a 1-1 draw in the first leg earlier this month, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

And with a decisive league clash against Roma and a UEFA Champions League semifinal meeting with Barcelona on the horizon, this is a pivotal week in their season.

Coach Simone Inzaghi must also contend with his team’s poor record in the “Derby della Madonnina,” with Inter failing to win in their last four encounters.

Milan also comes into the match off a 1-0 defeat to Atalanta at San Siro on Sunday, marking their fifth loss in ten matches across all competitions. This left the Rossoneri six points away from the top six in Serie A, meaning their best chance of securing European football next season may be through success in the Coppa Italia—even though they haven’t lifted the trophy since 2003!

The match kicks off at 21:00.
