Juventus vs Inter
The final of the Coppa Italia pits two teams who are evenly matched in terms of star power and chances of winning.
Juventus have had a mixed season. The return of Max Allegri has gone entirely as expected. They have secured Champions League football but are 11 points behind AC Milan. Dusan Vlahovic has been a solid addition with his goals and holdup play. However, the prolific nature of the Serbian has taken a hit in Allegri’s system.

Juventus eased past Fiorentina in the semis but Inter are a different beast. The defence has to be extremely careful in not making silly mistakes. They lost against Genoa at the weekend due to a last-minute error. Last season, it was the Coppa Italia triumph that salvaged a poor season. It may well be that history repeats itself.
Inter are in the midst of a tense race for the Scudetto. They sit two points behind arch rivals AC Milan with two games left. Credit must go to Simone Inzaghi who has done an excellent job since joining last year. They lost Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi, with many expecting them to end up trophyless.

However, Inter are still in the hunt for a double, thanks to stellar performances from Edin Dzeko, Hakan Calhanoglu, Lautaro Martinez, and others. They whacked the Rosseneri 3-0 in the second leg of the semis and are the favourites for the cup. Inzaghi has kept the fire going and established Inter’s credentials as one of the big boys. A win over old rivals Juventus will be the icing on the cake.
