Juventus will be looking to claim a first leg advantage when they host Inter Milan in the Coppa Italia semi-final on Tuesday. The Turin club has been on an impressive run-in recent weeks and should have the edge over Inter Milan, who have been out of sorts lately.
Juventus have undoubtedly had plenty of problems this season, particularly their 15-point deduction. However, they have overcome their troubles and are playing themselves into the mix for a top four finish while also pushing for some silverware in the Coppa Italia and Europa League.
Juventus booked their place in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia with a 1-0 victory over Lazio back in February. They have been on a fine run since then, suffering just one defeat jn their last 12 matches across all competitions and claiming 10 wins.
The Allianz Stadium remains a fortress for Juventus, who have claimed six wins and a draw from their last seven home matches. Massimiliano Allegri’s men warmed up for Tuesday’s clash with a 1-0 victory over Verona is a Serie A fixture on Saturday.
With Napoli seemingly running way with the Serie A title, the Coppa Italia represents Inter Milan’s only opportunity for some domestic silverware. They are in the semi-final after claiming a 1-0 victory over Atalanta back in January.
The Coppa Italia may represent a chance for some silverware but Inter Milan do not head into Tuesday’s first leg in the best form. Simone Inzaghi’s men suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Fiorentina in a Serie A fixture last Saturday.
That result highlights Inter Milan’s struggles in recent weeks as they have won just once in their last six matches across all competitions, suffering four defeats in that run. A major problem is a lack of cutting edge in attack as they have failed to score in their last three matches.

Juventus have the edge among the bookies with a home win priced at 7/5 by William Hill. A victory for Inter Milan is valued at 11/5 by Paddy Power while a draw is set at odds of 5/2 by bet365.
Recent head to head
There have already been two meetings between Juventus and Inter Milan this season with the Turin club winning both matches. They claimed a 2-0 victory back in November before picking up a 1-0 win in March.
Players to watch

At the other end of the pitch, Dusan Vlahovic featured off the bench against Verona and could be handed a start on Tuesday. The Serbian striker remains the leading scorer for Juventus this season and is priced at 7/4 by bet365 to get on the score sheet.
