Inter vs AC Milan Soccer Betting Tips – Coppa Italia
In the previous round, Inter had to work hard to win on Fiorentina’s lawn thanks to a goal scored by Lukaku in 119th minute (1-2 after extra time). Considered to be serious candidates for the Scudetto this year, the Nerazzurri meet expectations for the moment and they occupy the 2nd place in Serie A with 2 units behind the top of the standings which is occupied by … AC Milan. Victorious only once in the last 4 days, for 2 draws and 1 loss, the team has lost precious points recently. After a valuable home success against Juventus (2-0), Inter was held in check on the lawn of Udinese last weekend (0-0).
Before playing this quarter-final of the Italian Cup, AC Milan had some scares but all the same dismissed, at home, Torino in the previous round (0-0, qualification following a penalty shootout) . Back in the forefront this season, the Rossoneri trust the lead of Serie A with 2 units ahead of their opponent of the day. Unbeaten in the first 15 days, they have however lost 2 of their last 4 league games. Beaten at home by Juve in early January (1-3), AC Milan then won against Torino (2-0) and Cagliari (0-2) before relapsing, at home, against Atalanta last weekend (0-3).
