Hopefully this Italian Cup semi-final second leg tie between Juventus and AC Milan will take place after the weekend postponements. Juventus have a big hole in their trophy cabinet because last season they failed to win the Italian Cup. They had won the cup for the past four seasons but will be confident of reaching the final after a 1-1 away draw in the first leg. Juventus are second in Serie A, being overtaken by Lazio after their game against Inter was postponed. They nearly lost the first leg of this tie, needing a 90th minute Cristiano Ronaldo penalty to grab the draw. Juventus have won their last seven home matches, scoring at least twice in each of them. They are unbeaten at home in 20 games and last lost to an Italian side at home in April 2018. Milan have a big task on their hands as Juventus last lost a home Italian Cup tie in 2015.

AC Milan will be regretting giving away that late goal in the first leg. They are seventh in Serie A and had shown good form earlier this year with five straight wins. However, they come into this game having won just one of their last five matches. They have won two of their last five games but visits to Atalanta and Inter saw them concede nine goals. Milan nearly didn't get this far as they needed a last minute equalizer to force extra time against Torino. Juventus can make home advantage pay here and get the win to take them into the final against Inter or Napoli.
