This is the big Coppa Italia quarter-final fixture as the two Milan rivals go head to head.
With both going well in Serie A as well, we expect a full-on contest to go down in this match between two form teams.
There probably isn’t going to be too much to choose between the two on the night, but Inter are the favourites.

Inter Milan Preview – Can Inter beat their rivals?
Inter Milan are second only to rivals AC Milan in the Serie A title race. Will they be able to dump them from the Coppa Italia?
The form of Inter is only W2 D3 L1 in their last six games.
So their hot winning form has slowed up a little bit.
The only win that they have taken in their last five games was a great 2-0 league home success over Juventus.
Anyway, back to the Coppa Italia, they had a struggle in the last round.
Inter were on the road at Fiorentina and needed extra time to get the job done.
In their last eight games in all competitions, Inter have only two clean sheets.
So that may open a door for their rivals to get at them.
But in the math outright for football betting in this fixture, Inter are the 21/20 favourites* (odds recorded 2311 GMT Sunday, 24th January).
They would be looking for some revenge too having lost their season’s home league match against Milan.
That 1-2 defeat for Inter at the hands of their rivals happened in mid-October last year.
But the recent head to head has been mostly all the way of Inter, who have won four of the last five meetings.
This season’s league defeat against Milan was the first that Inter had lost a Milan derby match since 2016.
The goals should be flowing in this game and Inter to win & Both teams to score is at 11/4* (odds recorded 2311 GMT Sunday, 24th January).
AC Milan Preview – Can Milan steal the show?
It has been a tremendous season from Milan but they have let two games slip in their last five.
Those were big home league games against Juventus and Atalanta, which has allowed Inter to close on them.
But if we are looking at away games this season, then it’s fantastic reading for Milan.
They have gone undefeated with a W11 D3 record in all competitions in away fixtures.
One feature of the third season has been consistent scoring.
Milan have scored at least two goals in four of their last five away games now.
With three clean sheets in their last five away games, it does hint that they are going to be difficult to break.
So this is just a fascinating clash in the Coppa Italia and the winner of it will go forward to meet with Juventus or SPAL in the semi-finals.
In the match outright, the win for AC Milan is at 12/5* (odds recorded 2311 GMT Sunday, 24th January).

AC Milan are carrying a big goal-scoring threat and over 2.5 goals is an obvious direction to go at 8/13* (odds recorded 2311 GMT Sunday, 24th January).
Seven of the last nine Milan derby matches have gone above the 2.5 goal line, so there is a trend.
This just looks as if it is going to be such a tightly-contested fixture. It wouldn’t be a surprise if more than 90 minutes is needed.
AC Milan To Qualify is at 6/5 to find a way through* (odds recorded 2311 GMT Sunday, 24th January).
Inter Milan vs AC Milan Betting Advice
It’s always a little tough for football betting to know which way a cup tie is going to go.
Neither of these were at their best in the previous round, Inter needing extra time to get past Fiorentina, while Milan needed a penalty shootout over Torino.
This is probably going to be tight but we are just going to shade the home win.
