Italy’s premier cup competition nears another exciting climax as the semi-final second legs of the Coppa Italia complete this week.
And betting tips point to a replay of last season’s final as holders Juventus try to get it on again with Atalanta, after their weekend Serie A match was snowed off, and Lazio host Milan with their first tie all square.
Coppa Italia SF
Juventus vs (1-0 on agg.) Atalanta
Our handicap betting offer in Turin is for a home win at 2.03 with a -1.00 goal handicap, and that will be more than enough for Juventus who are in pole position after a narrow first-leg win. Gonzalo Higuain scored after only three minutes in Atalanta and Gianluigi Buffon preserved the lead with a penalty save.
The visitors are without a win in four but did have a fantastic result to beat Napoli in Naples in the quarter-finals, while Juventus recently surrendered a two-goal lead against Spurs in the Champions League. So you never know…
Lazio vs (0-0 on agg.) Milan
Last year’s beaten finalists Lazio arguably have the stiffer task at home to a Milan side which—resurgent under Gennaro Gattuso—has won its last five in all competitions. And Simone Inzaghi’s team may rue its chance to take the lead in a first leg they dominated in Milan.
These two also met in the league recently during which Patrick Cutrone was on target as Milan beat Lazio 2-1. The Milan forward has netted twice in his team’s cup run, the same as Lazio’s league-leading scorer, Ciro Immobile. Both hitmen know full well that one chance and one goal may win this tie.
The hosts are at 1.92 to prevail, with Milan 3.80 to win again and the draw at 3.35
