Meeting in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, AC Milan and Roma will aim to shake off their Serie A woes and secure a semi-final spot on Wednesday.
AC Milan:
Milan will look to bounce back after a dramatic 1-1 draw against Inter in the Derby della Madonnina, which left them eighth in Serie A and struggling to secure European qualification. Sergio Conceicao’s side has already lifted the Supercoppa Italiana but now aims to improve their poor Coppa Italia record, having won the competition just once in the last 50 years. They cruised past Sassuolo 6-1 in the last 16, with Samuel Chukwueze scoring twice, and will be confident against Roma, having beaten them in both legs of their last semi-final meeting back in 2004.
Roma:
The Giallorossi are unbeaten in seven Serie A matches under Claudio Ranieri, showing resilience despite still struggling on the road, with just one away win all season. They earned a dramatic 2-2 draw against Napoli on Sunday, with Angelino scoring a late equalizer. While Roma’s last Coppa Italia win over Milan came 18 years ago, they have not progressed beyond the quarter-finals since 2017. With Europa League qualification secured, they will see this as a chance to claim silverware in an otherwise turbulent season.
