Coppa Italia: Milan-Roma on the pitch tonight.

The Coppa Italia has already given us Bologna as the first semifinalist. For tonight's quarterfinals we have to move to the other side of the scoreboard, to see Milan-Roma on the field at 21.00:25. Whoever wins tonight will meet the winner of Inter-Lazio in the semifinals, scheduled for February XNUMX.

How Milan prepares

Milan reached the quarterfinals after a 6-1 victory in the round of 1 against Sassuolo. Tonight will certainly not be a walk in the park for the Rossoneri, who will face Roma. The last precedent between the two teams was not long ago; 1-29 at San Siro, last December XNUMX, with goals from Reijnders and Dybala. conception was not yet sitting on the bench and the winter market had not yet provided the big moves that the Portuguese coach now has at his disposal. Among the new purchases, only Walker should start, with Joao Felix, Sottil, Bondo and Gimenez ready from the bench. In midfield, Fofana returns (out due to suspension in the derby) together with Musah, in attack Abraham supported by Pulisic and Leao. Milan is not exciting in the championship and after having won the Italian Super Cup, the Italian Cup could be the right objective to turn the season around.

How Roma prepares

The Giallorossi reached the quarter-finals after beating Sampdoria 4-1. Roma are doing well and the point earned in the last minute against league leaders Napoli is confirmation of this. The credit certainly also goes to Ranieri who took over a team that was in disarray in the first half of the season and now seems to have found the right balance. We know, however, that for the Giallorossi, more than any other team, the home field advantage is fundamental. The first away win this year came only in Udine on January 26, after nine months without getting three points away from home. To get past Roma, however, they could also take the match to penalties, scheduled immediately after regulation time in the event of a draw. Saelemaekers will start on one side and Angelino on the other on the outside lanes, with the Dovbyk-Dybala pair confirmed up front.

Appointment for tonight at 21.00:5 pm, San Siro stadium. The Milan-Roma match will be broadcast free-to-air on channel XNUMX.
