Looking to finish off the job in midweek, Juventus will welcome Inter Milan to Turin on Tuesday night with a spot in the final of this year’s Coppa Italia up for grabs.

Juventus

Starting with the hosts, despite that 2-0 loss away at Inter Milan while on Serie A duties last month, the defending champions have managed to bounce back in some style. Enjoying what has been arguably their brightest spell under former Italian icon Andrea Pirlo, the Old Lady put in another eye-catching display over the weekend. Now with their sights set on trying to mount a late charge to defend their Italian crown, Juve picked up a deserved 2-0 win against Roma on home soil and the mood in their camp should be at a real high. Enjoying a six-match winning run across all formats, a run that also saw them lift the Super Cup against Napoli last month, Pirlo finds his side also holding a crucial advantage in midweek. Coming from behind and grabbing a 2-1 win away at the San Siro last week, it could also be well worth keeping an eye out for attacking talisman Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday night. Bagging himself both goals against Inter in the first-leg, the Portuguese superstar has already notched himself 25 goals for club and country so far this season.
