This is the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. The winner of this tie will go forward to meet either Juventus or Inter in the final.

Atalanta Preview – Home advantage to pay off for Atalanta?
After a 0-0 draw on the road in the first leg of this semi-final, Atalanta may well be feeling pleased with their work.
In the match outright Atalanta are the 17/20 odds-on favourites* (odds recorded 04:38 GMT, Tuesday 9th February).
Atalanta are a confident, strong team and they have lost just one of their last seventeen games.
Their wins have slipped up a little bit, having taken just two in their last seven (90 minutes).
But Atalanta are a team who knows where the goal is.
They have scored three goals in four of their last five games in all competitions.
So that clearly makes them a huge threat here.
It probably means that it could be worth looking over 3.5 goals at 11/8* (odds recorded 04:38 GMT, Tuesday 9th February).
Atalanta are carrying some strong home form.
In their last nine home games, Atalanta have taken a W6 D2 L1 record.
We have to go back to their scoring output as they have scored at least three goals in seven of their last nine home games.
In the last round of the Coppa Italia, Atalanta got the better of Lazio in a 3-2 victory.
There have only been two clean sheets for Atalanta in their last eight home games.
Atalanta to win & both teams to score is at 11/5* (odds recorded 04:38 GMT, Tuesday 9th February).
Napoli Preview – Can Napoli find a way on the road?
In the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, Napoli claimed a 4-2 home win over Spezia.
They are the sizeable 3/1 underdogs for this semi-final trip to Atalanta in the second leg of this tie* (odds recorded 04:38 GMT, Tuesday 9th February).
Napoli’s form has just not quite been as hot as it may need to be to get this job done.
They are W2 D1 L3 in their last six games in all competitions.
The away form of Napoli comes under heavier scrutiny though as they have lost five of their last seven on the road.
It’s a three-match losing streak that they are currently on out on the road.
Troublingly perhaps for them is they have shipped at least two goals in each of those three defeats.
So those are wobbles which really have to come under scrutiny.
But then very interestingly, they have had the better of Atalanta this season.
