Just three days after their dramatic, come-from-behind 4-2 victory in the Derby Della Madonnina, current Serie A table-toppers Inter Milan can take a huge step toward a domestic double when they host SSC Napoli, one of the more disappointing teams in league play this season, in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal. A win at home would give Inter a significant advantage heading into the second leg as they attempt to reach the final – where they could face Juventus, the same team they are now battling for the scudetto, in a showdown for the Cup.
A domestic double would be Inter Milan’s first since 2010, and only the third in the iconic club’s history. But Napoli, who were supposed to compete for the Serie A title this season after finishing second in 2018/2019, will be desperate to win. Sitting in 11th place on the league table, the Coppa Italia likely represents their best chance at silverware in the current campaign.
