Coppa Italia 2022-23: Inter Milan vs Juventus: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast
Two heavy Italian giants go against each other at San Siro to confirm a spot in Copa Italia Final.
Juventus will be travelling to Inter Milan with everything on the line for a chance to redeem their status as a powerhouse club by winning the domestic trophy and knocking out the arch rivals out. What happened in the final 10 minutes of was full of drama and shameful behaviour by some home fans. Following a tense but average first 80 minutes in the opening leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final, Inter found themselves trailing behind to a classic Juventus counter-strike at the Allianz Stadium.
This was before a remarkable conclusion to events that saw an equalizer and 03 red cards in total. Both teams have been in a bright spot, Inter have made the Champions League semi-finals last week with a thrilling 3-3 draw at home against Benfica and Juventus have seen their Serie A points deduction overturned since the clubs' controversial 1-1 draw earlier this month, and they now take on each other in the fourth and final Derby d'Italia of the season.
Juventus may have been held on a draw in the home leg, but three weeks earlier they had sealed a Serie A double over Inter at San Siro. After winning in Turin last autumn, a stunning finish from Filip Kostic split the sides in Milan. As the Nerazzurri were their conquerors in last year's Coppa Italia decider, Juventus would take great delight in recording a third victory of the season over their old rivals and setting up a return to next month's final, where either Fiorentina or Cremonese will provide the opposition.
Recording a third straight league loss for the first time since 2011 may leave Juventus uncertain of claiming a top-four finish, but they remain trophy contenders in both Europe and the Coppa Italia - and Allegri has a track record of getting the job done, whereas Inter have the same chances to win 02 trophies this season and will be keen to get their hands on atleast one as they have been out of Europe Qualification spot for now. A silverware would be a good conclusion for the team and the fans.

After a disappointing season start, he has revived his hunger for goal-scoring lately and has been putting performances for his club and country. by seeing off Empoli with help from two goals and an assist from a resurgent Lukaku. He will again be the crucial figure in the upcoming match as he will look forward to redeem himself in front of the home fans.
Juventus: Filip Kostić
When it comes to playing Inter, Kostic just loves to contribute against his favourite opposition. Inter are the team which Filip Kostić has been involved in the most goals against for Juventus, with one goal and two assists in his two matches against the Nerazzurri. In the current league campaign only Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (10) has served more winning passes than the Serbian winger's eight. He will need to turn up to his best against the rivals if he needs to see off his side to the final.

Match Prediction for Inter Milan vs Juventus
This tie seems to be weighted equally as Inter are knockout kings - Inter lifted last year's Coppa Italia and are into the semis of both cup competitions this season - it is the home side who should scrape through to the final. The Nerazzurri have thrived on the big stage despite slipping up several times in Serie A; Juve's limitations have been exposed while winning just one of their last five matches but they are p[ersonally on a roll against the Blue side of Milan as they will be looking to defeat them for the forth time in total since the beginning of the last season.
Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 Juventus - Inter Milan to progress on aggregate 3-2.
