Milan

Last updated: Thu 25 April 2019 08:51
In Brief

Failed to beat Parma on the road: 1-1 draw. Need a win at home to Lazio. Bonaventura and Strinic out. Cutrone recovered.

Looking Back

Despite taking a constant initiative, they failed to pierce Parma defence for over an hour. Once they scored, they proved incapable of defending the lead.

Castillejo scored at his first attempt after coming on. Positive return for Donnarumma. Worst game for Piatek since his arrival in Italy. Poor performance also for Calhanoglu.

Looking Ahead

Having obtained a scoreless draw in the first leg, Milan need a win in order to get to the Coppa Italia final.

Bonaventura and Strinic are out. Cutrone should be fine despite a hip problem.

Donnarumma, Calabria, Romagnoli, Kessié and Rodriguez are one yellow card away from suspension.

Coach Gattuso is considering the adoption of a 3-4-3 formation: both Paquetà and Calhanoglu should end up on the bench.

Points of Interest

Milan hosted Lazio 12 times in Coppa Italia: they won 6, drew 2 and lost 4. Overall, they scored 17 goals and conceded 14. They won only 1 out of the last 5.

Lazio

Last updated: Thu 25 April 2019 08:51
In Brief

Sound 1-2 home defeat to relegated Chievo Verona. Need a draw with goals or a win from trip to Milan. Radu banned. Basta ineligible. Lukaku and Berisha out.

Looking Back

Committed a real suicide against Chievo Verona, going 1 man down in the first half. Conceded twice after the break: reaction brought them close to equalising.

Crazy red card for Milinkovic-Savic. Unimpressive performance from Acerbi at the back. Immobile was useless. Correa and Caicedo tried bringing Lazio back into the game.

Looking Ahead

Having been held to a scoreless home draw in the first leg, Lazio need a draw with goals or a win from the trip to Milan in the Coppa Italia.

Basta is ineligible.

Lukaku and Berisha are out.

Radu is serving the first of a 2-game Cup ban. Leiva is back from a league ban. Wallace, Milinkovic-Savic, Immobile, Leiva, Marusic, Patric and Parolo are one yellow card away from suspension.

Correa should be preferred to Caicedo in the attack. Romulo and Lulic should prevail over Marusic and Durmisi on the flanks of the midfield.

Points of Interest

Lazio failed to score in 2 out of 12 trips to Milan in the Coppa Italia, while they kept 3 clean sheets. They have never scored more than 2 goals, while they conceded more twice.
